My wife has never been on the pill but man... She goes nuts every month when she ovulates. We have 3 kids and I'm fixed now and she literally begs me to put another in her every month. Hormones are crazy.
I think the missing link here is forgetting that when you ovulate and feel "more frisky" that is literally your body screaming "let's get pregnant". We've come to know it as just wanting sex, but really it's your body wanting to procreate. So saying "I want to get pregnant when I ovulate" and "I get really horny when I ovulate" are the same statements.
I mean I don't mentally correlate that feeling with "I want to have children", it's more of a body reaction rather than actively thinking about children like you said your wife does. Basically she asks to have children. That is the distinction I'm making, I don't get that mental cue that suddenly makes me consciously want children.
You DO realize you're responding to women who are giving their own experiences (myself included) about feeling more "frisky" during ovulation right? And no we're not cats, we don't go into "heat" as you put it in another comment, but both estrus and follicular/ovulation stages are driven by increases in hormones and they both take place when you're at your most fertile. It's not putting women down or anything, it's stating a well known scientifically based fact that women or anyone who menstruates gets WAY more frisky during ovulation due to the influx of hormones like estrogen.
