If you're worried about your relationship situation then maybe give it 6 months with dietary changes and see if her fertility shifts, in which case you can wife her? Most cultures feed women up on hyper nutritious foods like fish roe, grass-fed summer butter and liver for months before and during pregnancy, so it might be worth trying to stuff your girl with those things and see if anything changes. Liver is really cheap (easy to eat as liverwurst) but really high quality grass-fed butter is probably the nicest way to feed her up, because you can fry stuff in it, use it in stews and soups, and also use it as a spread. Fish roe is also nice. Maybe do weekly date nights with liver pate and fish roe on crackers, and encourage her to eat butter the rest of the time? Diet is more important than you'd think with a lot of hormonal stuff and if she's very petite it's even more likely that she's not getting the vitamins she needs with her portion sizes, as our soils etc have been stripped of nutrients.

We're not big on cooking, so in the end we're almost always living off some funky mix of vegetables and around-the house stuff. It's been lots of eggs, pork, since the slaughter, but something rich like liver is probably exactly what she needs. She's got that picky thing where she's a little scared of turning the eating switch to "on", so I have to force feed her meat or fatty stuff when we have it. 
<2022-06-01T03:47:11.000Z> WashedOutGundamPilot: Thank you so much!  It's a wonderful idea, I hadn't considered doing something so wholistic. Just vitamins like a dummy.

The Weston A Price Foundation has a lot of resources on healthy eating and the science behind it, and if you eat whole foods you should be able to go wild with fat and not get fat, because we have build in satiety to fat (but not sugar) so she might find their stuff reassuring to look at for the mental switch you talked about
