No peanut butter?

in Trouble TTC
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.
Re: No peanut butter?
I've never heard about giving up peanut butter while TTC, it sounds like made up info.
