No peanut butter?

I have a question regarding eating peanut butter while trying to conceive. I read somewhere recently (online) that women TTC should avoid eating peanut butter... something about depleting calcium... I had never heard this before and I don't always trust everything I read on the internet. Has anyone else heard that we should be avoiding eating peanut butter?? I love peanut butter and I eat it almost daily, so I wanted to find out if I'm hindering my chances of getting pregnant. I thought I was okay eating it because most nuts are "good fats" and I only eat the organic peanut butter with no sugar or salt; there is literally only one ingredient in my peanut butter, "peanuts." Thanks for any info on this.

    Did you not get enough responses to this questions on the TTGP board?

    I've never heard about giving up peanut butter while TTC, it sounds like made up info.

    Never heard of this and have no idea how it would hinder calcium absorption.  Calcium inhibits absorption of iron but that is a totally different thing.

    TTC since Oct 2014
    DOR + MFI
    3 failed IUIs; IVF August 2017
    FET January 2018 - BFP
