Is it safe to take fenugreek while trying to conceive?

Question

My saas keeps telling me to add methi in my food daily saying its good. We are trying for a baby since 5 months and i just dont want anything to mess with that. Is methi okay during this time?

Manju Sahu · Answer

Eating methi paratha is perfectly fine, don't worry! Just don't start drinking gallons of methi water thinking it's a magic potion. Keep it balanced and ask your doc if unsure.

Renuka Chetty · Answer

Regular culinary use of fenugreek is safe, but concentrated supplements can sometimes affect hormone levels. It's best to consult your gynac before adding any herbal supplements to your routine while trying to conceive.

Ratna Iyer · Answer

Please be very careful with herbal remedies. I had some complications and my doctor strictly advised against taking random seeds in large quantities. Do check with your gynac first.

Archana Upadhyay · Answer

Normal food amounts are fine, but avoid heavy doses. Better to ask your doctor to be safe.

Vandana Oberoi · Answer

A little bit of methi in your food is totally fine and healthy! But don't go taking high-dose supplements without asking your doctor first. Good luck on your TTC journey! 🌟
