I had some bleeding in my first trimester, so I became very cautious. My doctor told me to avoid concentrated fenugreek seeds because they can sometimes trigger uterine contractions. Better to stick to normal home-cooked meals and ask your doctor.
Unless you are planning to swallow a whole cup of methi seeds daily, you are totally fine! A little tadka in your dal won't do anything, so enjoy your ghar ka khana.
Beta, putting a little methi in your daily dal or subji is traditional and very good for digestion. But do not drink raw methi water or eat methi laddoos in large quantities right now as it creates heat. Have simple warm home-cooked meals.
When I asked my nutritionist at Cloudnine, she clearly told me that regular tempering (tadka) with methi is completely fine. But she advised against taking fenugreek seeds as a daily remedy or supplement. You can always call your hospital coordinator to confirm.
Cooking standard methi sabji is totally fine and doesn't cost much either. But don't go buying expensive fenugreek supplements or eating raw seeds in large amounts, because that might lead to unwanted doctor visits and extra scan bills.
After my long IVF journey, I became extremely careful about what I ate. My doctor said small amounts of methi in normal food are absolutely fine, but avoid concentrated fenugreek seeds or tea. Stay safe and take care of your little miracle.
