He's not in the mood

So, we are TTC # 1, cycle 9 and am currently in 'fertile window'. I have told DP but he just isn't interested in DTD. We have had this issue on and off for a few months, he says it's not related to TTC but the last thing on his mind at the moment is sex.
He says his priority is to have a baby NOW and I feel like having a talk about 'how babies are made' is a little condescending.
He says it's not me but I honestly don't know what to think. I am trying my hardest to keep it relaxed but he is making it difficult. I only told him we were in the window because he asked :(
Any advice?

It sounds like he's having doubts to be honest... Otherwise, is there any stress in his life at the moment that could be occupying his mind? Perhaps a mini break away to relax and he might feel more up for it? Time for a serious, sit down chat about what he wants to make him realise how confused you're feeling.

So he asked and then suddenly isn't in the mood? Sounds like problems to me.

Sorry OP, think you need to talk.

Thanks you both. I agree, there must be doubts there, perhaps he feels worried and dosent want to tell me. We are on holidays in a couple of weeks, hopefully with some work stress taken out of the way he will open up.

My DH went through a few months of not being interested and finding excuses and after two cycles of this he told me he didn't want a baby. He'd also been asking about my fertile window and whereas I took that to be a positive he was actually only asking so he knew not to have sex with me as he didn't want me falling pregnant.
