Turmeric Powder

[MuseMama13]

Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any information on turmeric powder and how it affects TTC and fertility? We have been TTC for 3 years now (unexplained infertility) withave no luck. My sister made me some "golden paste" (turmeric powder [which seems to be all the rage now, for health benefits], coconut oil, water and black pepper) for energy (nothing to do with TTC) and I've been taking it for 2 weeks now (1/4 tsp a day). I feel amazing, lots of energy, but after doing more research online, I found a lot of conflicting info on taking turmeric powder while TTC. I've even read that it used to be used as a contraceptive! I'm really worried I've ruined our chances this month by taking it. Does anyone know anything about this? Thanks!

I have been curious about this as well. I hope someone has some experience. I was thinking it was good because it was an anti-inflammatory. Then I came across the same information about it potentially being used as birth control. There are cultures that eat a lot of it with no noticeable reduction in fertility, though, so who knows?
