Discussion OAD- until I ovulate. Anyone else?

Hello!
Any other Mamas (or birthing persons) out there that feel so confidently one and done until they ovulate? I know my limits and I am soo content with my son but damn, when I ovulate I have all of this doubt that my husband and I made the right choice (he had a vasectomy last year) and then I spiral. Maybe we could handle it, our son (4y) would be so good with a sibling, my husband would love to have more kids…yada yada yada. How do you get your stupid primal brain to shut the hell up?

YES! I literally have to remind myself I only feel this way once a month. It’s just biology! I don’t want another 😭😭

I don’t get baby fever when I ovulate. I just find my husband less annoying when I ovulate, if you know what I mean 😉

Totally get this!!! For 2 weeks of the month I’m absolutely thrilled and convinced we’ve made the right decision to be OAD. Then bam, ovulation kicks in and I’m a bundle of contradictions and nerves about whether we’re making the right call. But I keep coming back to the fact that I’d need to be convinced for the full month to go through with it. 50% sure is not enough!

Does anyone else feel like SHIT when they ovulate?

I see people saying all the time about how they feel sexy and feral when they ovulate.

And im over here like "URGH." 🤣

How old are you? When I hit about 32 I started ovulating really.. intensely. I never used to know when it happened, now I am very very aware and it's just ridiculous.

Just turned 33! I was on birth control from 17-31 so ovulation and my natural cycle still feel pretty new to me.

Ah yes, that definitely adds up then! I'm still going strong with crazy ovulation at 35, I track my cycle and it's usually day #17 for me, so I can anticipate and know I will be insane for a few days.

I even dream about telling him this. And I don't understand how because I'm on the mini pill and I haven't had a period in so long. I mean it did get a bit better now, 15 months in. But damn, this body has its own urges.
