AIBU to say ovulation makes you broody?!

[mumsince2018]

So in the last few days I've been feeling very broody. I have a 20 month old and I'm not planning on having anymore for another year or a year and a half. Recently it's like my brain has been plagued With everything baby! Watching newborns on YouTube in family vlogs,thinking back to when I was pregnant,imagining life with a new baby. Then I looked at my app and I'm ovulating!! This happens to me everything month,am I the only one?!

Never happens to me anyway, I haven't felt broody ever I don't think. I like babies and all but I had my 2nd (and last) at 25 and have never felt broody since then and I'm 41 now :p

No never.
It makes me frisky but never broody.
The sight of a cute newborn does but only for a minute.

It does for some women, it's well documented.

So does those last rushes of hormones before the peri menopause.

Interesting- maybe it's because I feel like I'm not done having kids yet and you felt fulfilled after having your second? Maybe it's just me then haha

every month

No. Just violent (pcos, so ovulation is painful)

Well I'm glad it's been well documented! My bodies tricking me into thinking now is the right time to have a baby,makes you forget all the sleepless nights and crying. And makes you think it's all snuggles

It happens to me, it's been happening more as I get older and as my DC get older too. Told DH the other night that I really want another baby and that if he hadn't had a vasectomy I'd be wanting to TTC. Two days later and the feeling has completely passed, the thought of another pregnancy/baby/child gives me the heave, and I'm so glad he's had the snip so there is no opportunity to act on those feelings!

Broody, not so much. Fancying a shag? Definitely. Sadly I'm married to an insufferable dick wad, so I go without, I spent too much of my 20s and 30s having sex with men who weren't very nice to me, it's not how I'm going to spend my 40s.

It is a natural feeling to have during ovulation, as I said upthread I get extremely horny similiar reaction for the same results a newborn.
I have two DC after my 2nd any broodiness disappeared he put me off babies for life.

I only feel broody when DD is being well behaved.

Any other time I’m like ‘hell no’ I can’t do this all again. Only child all the way!

I was broody the other day and then I got AF for the first time since 11 month old DS was born.

So yes, for me it absolutely makes me broody.
