Just don't tell him when you're about to ovulate and make sure you're initiating sex throughout your cycle instead of only during your fertile window. That way it's not just about making a baby, and sex will be fun instead of a chore. As long as you have sex about 3 times a week throughout your cycle, you should hit at least part of your fertile window each month.
I'm sorry what he said was hurtful to you. Looking from the outside, I'm 100% sure he was covering his own insecurity and frustration with a joke and I'm sure he did not mean to hurt you with his comment. The pressure can be a lot on guys, and then not performing can be very devastating for them.
I know it is hard when emotions are high and I know that his comment did upset you, but I'm sure he meant NOTHING remotely close to saying he doesn't want that intimacy with you or your appearance is a factor - please try to avoid that thought process!
Otherwise, as PP said, try not to make it obvious when you are ovulating and good luck!

Yea I think you are making too much of this. Guys feel the pressure of this as well, not just us.
I also suggest to keep on initiating sex. Don't tell him when you are ovulating. Just do it EOD and mix it up, be kinky, whatevs...the enjoyment factor will begin to outweigh the TTC factor.
