Every time. I can't not have those thoughts. If I'm into it, I have those thoughts. If I'm not in the mood, I still have those thoughts. And they affect whether I decide to get in the mood or not. Not definitively, but they are a factor.
And the time of month affects where I want to have sexytimes, too, because I am sure as heck not going to be stuck in the shower with my legs up in the air for half an hour post-sexytimes. Because even if that is a silly superstition and doesn't have any effect on anything, I am taking no chances. If it's fertile times, those legs are going up. And I want to be on a comfy bed or couch when they do.
And I just really hate that. I hate how it has invaded that intimate area of my life. I wish sexytimes could just be sexytimes and not be about anything else ever.
I hate having to schedule it, too. Ovulation is the least romantic time of the month. There's no surprise or excitement because I know it's coming and I'm almost dreading it because of the pervasive feeling that it's just going to fail again and my own natural inclination to not even try if I think I'm going to fail.
By the way, if anyone wants to throw a "just relax and it will happen" my way in the comments, I WILL MURDER YOU. AND I AM IN LAW SCHOOL, SO I WILL KNOW HOW NOT TO GET CONVICTED. TRY ME. JUST YOU TRY IT.
Still no period, by the way. Good news or bad news? If I were a betting woman, I know where I'd put my money...
I just read your post! Just now as you were commenting! I'm going to comment on it right now so that I don't get to hog all the comment-love.
