I suspect many women feel this way, and isn't that Nature's way ? When
you are on the birth control pill, and many other methods of birth
control, you don't normally ovulate. So, not being on contraception the
urges would be stronger.
It's a matter of giving into those urges that would be the question.
But, I would suspect many women have them. With the triphasic birth
control pills, sometimes they mimic a woman's cycle. But, remember any
of the major birth control methods are synthetic hormones, so it might
be something in the synthetics that contribute to those feelings.
By prohibiting your self, or punishing yourself for the feelings which
are pretty normal, that probably doesn't help.
This is just part of your sexuality, it appears. Just enjoy that you
have cravings and that you can channel them into other directions.
