I studied about this through the internet. I'll share you what I studied and what I actually did.
Women have about a million egg cells in our ovaries naturally. When we are having our period, some of them ( about 20 ) are stimulated by hormones and starting to mature, then the best quality egg is chosen and it will come out to the womb. The other eggs which weren't chosen will die off. This is because the eggs get old as we get old.
On the other hand, sperm is made all the time, so it is possible that a 90 year old man can make good quality sperm. However it'll take about 3 months to make grown sperm, and also egg cells take about 3 months to grow and mature, so we need at least for 3 months to make improvements to our body.
We can't increase our eggs number and there is no cure if the eggs have something wrong with them. The aim is to improve the environment in our body for the egg cells to grow and mature to a good quality.
<To make good quality eggs>
1. Warm up your body
The eggs contain a lot of mitochondria, it will be active in warm temperatures, if you have a bath tub taking a bath is a good idea but I don't have a bath tub, so I put my feet in the foot spa for 10 ~ 15 minutes in winter.
Every food can divided into two groups which are to warm your body up and to cool your body down.
ex :
The foods that warm you up are :
carrots, pumpkins, potatoes, garlic, ginger, apples, prunes, cherry, red wine, cheese, red meat, dried fruits, etc.

The foods that cool you down are :
tomatoes, cucumber eggplants, bananas, lemons, pineapple, watermelon, white bread, white rice, coffee, milk, coke, sugar, beer, whiskey, white wine, etc.
2. Fitness for your muscles
Your body temperature will go up by its self as your muscles get fitter.
Walking is good to exercise your muscles, it'll stimulate the circulation. Too much exercise is not good.
Take a walk for 40 ~ 60 minutes almost everyday and when you are walking, walk with long strides and large swings of your arms like power walking.
3. Chose what you eat
Eggs need potassium, so take vegetables and fruits which contain lots of potassium.
ex : bananas, kiwi, avocado, spinach, potatoes, etc
Of course it is important to take vitamins, minerals, protein, etc. Taking them from food is the best but supplements help to take nutrition which are difficult to find. I took Folic acid tablets everyday for 2 years.
Remember too much sugar makes your blood flow bad.

4. Stress management and a regular life style
As you know stress harms your body, but it is difficult to get rid of all stress, so find your way to steam off to avoid harming your body. Walking is one of the ways to steam off, too.
Having a regular life style and a good nights sleep is also the way to recover from mental fatigue.
<To make good quality sperm >
In general speaking, zinc is necessary to make good quality sperm, and Maca is also good for the sperm.
A doctor said stress is the worst thing to reduce the number of sperm.
Men are a different design from women. It is not a good idea to warm up their body especially the lower part, so it is not good to wear brief style underwear and taking a bath for a long time. Sperm will die in high temperatures.
One of my husband's friends works at a pharmacy, and he recommended " Menevit ".

This is for the improvement of sperm health. http://www.menevit.com.au/mens-health-pregnancy/the-mans-role-in-planning-pregnancy
On this stage, it is more important to make good quality sperm than to increase the number.
My husband took this and avoid taking a hot spa and sauna, and took our dog for a walk almost everyday for exercise.
