Can a super healthy diet significantly improve fertility

Hi everyone,

Before I had my DD at the age of 39 I was a vegetarian for 5 years, teetotaller for 6 years, no caffeine, lots of exercise and generally very healthy. I got pregnant quite quickly and had a relatively easy pregnancy.
After DD was born things have changed in my diet and exercise levels. I started eating fish again as it's just quicker to cook, lots of bread, the odd cake, the odd junk food and I put on a bit of weight. My veggie intake had gone down significantly, my DD is a picky eater and we end up eating a lot of fish which she likes and I can't be bothered cooking two different meals.

When my DD was 6 months I started TTC again. Got pregnant 3 times and all ended up in miscarriage, I'm 43 now, first miscarriage at 41. Apparently my egg reserve is above average for my age, it's probably the quality that's poor. I've done some investigations and they found me lupus anticoagulant positive which means I have to be on blood thinners when I'm pregnant, but even that hasn't helped.

The only thing that's changed in 4 years is my age (which I have no control over) and my diet. AIBU to think that going back to my original diet will improve my chances? I'm desperate for another baby.
