Considering your background on wanting to conceive and then realizing you're not pregnant, I think this sudden sensitivity may be due to stress and is completely normal.
When we have our hopes badly set on on something such as having a baby only to be disappointed, sometimes we don't realize that we are sensitive to what others (especially our significant others) say or do even if they don't mean it to upset you. I know this because no one gets under my skin the way my husband does, even when the poor guy isn't even trying. When you feel vulnerable it is easy to blow up or get irritated at someone else for it. What is important is that you realize if and when you're under stress or highly irritable and take a few seconds to think that your boyfriend isn't trying to purposely upset you and if under normal circumstances you would react the same way.
