To be annoyed with his relaxed attitude?

So my partner and I decided to start trying for a baby last month. I was a little unsure about the timings for a few reasons but was ultimately convinced. The next few months wouldn't be bad timing for me for career and personal reasons so it made no sense to keep putting this off.

But here comes the problem, my partner is too relaxed about trying! He just seems to want nature to take its course and not think about optimal times for trying. So last month, due to being tired, away for work, and on a extended family holiday we only did it twice, neither time anywhere near ovulation, yet he thinks there is a decent chance (there isn't as my period just came a few days early).

I feel this is unfair - he isn't the one who is putting their life on hold, having to take vitamins, or think about their drinking at events. Is it really unreasonable to want him to be a bit more open to trying on times when I know there should be a better chance?

@SaraNade

Defacto couples are considered next of kin in Australia. (legalvision.com.au/what-is-next-of-kin)

Please tell me one right that married couples have that de facto ones don't have.
