vegan ttc?

Question

How does veganism/vegetarianism correlate with fertility?
I've just cut meat and most animal products out of my diet. I've been a meat eater my entire life, (my parents still think I've lost my mind) so I still consume cheese sometimes. But I'm trying to cut it all out. 
Anyhow, I was wondering if this will increase my chances of conceiving?
I've been trying for, like, 18 months now. 
Getting frustrated with it.
Although I didn't choose veganism because of ttc, I've been hopeful that it helps. 
Thoughts?

This is a quiet group so I can't tell if this is a new or old post... sorry if it's old!

Some people think it helps but I suppose it really depends on your diet. A healthy diet is going to help chances of conception, of course, and foods that contain folate (aka folic acid) are even more helpful.

Hopefully the image below is useful. As a vegan, I try to stay as plant-based as possible and eat a lot of spinach, collard greens, avocado, broccoli, beans, and lentils. I haven't had any issues TTC as a vegan so far...
