How do I switch my hormones off around ovulation?

[PolarTundra]

Does anyone else have this problem ...
We have 2 young preschool DC and most of the time I am very happy and grateful for our family of 4.
For financial, health and general wellbeing reasons I do not want a third baby but every month around ovulation BAM I want another baby.
I think about it all the time and start planning how we could make it work financially and making space in the house etc.
I have a copper coil and don't want to go back onto hormonal contraception but does this happen to anyone else? For this week I would take the coil out and TTC a third baby ignoring all of the reasons why I usually do not want that to happen!!

Write a list of your reasons.
Then you could try writing a letter to yourself.
Dear @PolarTundra
You may feel as though you want another baby right now, but you don't. Please remember (list of reasons). Remember this feeling will pass. Love from, polartundra

Are you sure it is just your hormones? It may be a good idea to talk through your feelings with someone eg a counsellor to process your feelings and also important to let yourself feel the sadness and loss of taking one path and not the other. It's a big choice either way

I think its hormonal... this morning I've woken up thinking about how lovely a 3rd DC would be and checked my period tracker app to see its 'peak fertility day'. A list is a good idea.
Luckily a) DH would take some serious persuading and b) I can't remove the coil myself

When I'm not on Contraception I have a huge longing for another baby even though I absolutely don't want another. I am on the mini pill now and periods have stopped completely. All those feelings have gone and I feel much more on an even keel every day rather then my moods being up and down depending on my cycle

Its a bizarre feeling. Life will be so much easier soon with one DC starting school and the other hopefully attending the attached nursery. I'll save time, so much money and as they get bigger and play together, and sleep better, everything is more straight forward! Yet I'm sitting here daydreaming about another baby which would mean less sleep, more nursery fees, less space and a bigger car needed mother nature drives me crazy.

I don't have a longing for another baby, but since coming off the pill and getting a copper coil instead, I feel incredibly horny around ovulation (to the point that I find it overwhelming!)
I presume it is primal!
Like others have said - write a list of rational reasons (so at the appropriate time of the month) about why stopping at two is the best option for your family.

I don't want kids at all and have been overriding these purely hormonal and fleeting urges for years!
When I get one, I think "OK how would your day look today with a baby?" and for a whole day I walk through how my day would change.
So I'm in the shower thinking that I'd have to rush because my DH and I would be taking turns juggling gettinh a baby fed and dressed. Then I'm making breakfast thinking how I'd no longer have time for that because I'd be racing to a childminder before my work commute. Then I get home from work and we're casually walking the dog before dinner, and I'm thinking how a baby needs to be fed and asleep by 7pm so we'd certainly not be doing shared dog walks again etc etc.
Could you adapt this to your situation? When you're going shopping, think "What would this be like right now, in practical terms, with an extra child?"
