Husband completely lost sex drive after a miscarriage, is this normal?

My husband and I have been together 8 years, haven't used protection for 6 years. This was our first pregnancy. We were in shock, in a good way! Things turned bad quickly. He was a fun easy going guy but now all he does is talk about work. He has no intrest in anything else.

Need help figuring out what's going on, why, and if I can fix it or help it at all?

Ok, so here's all the stuff going on in the last 3 weeks...

I had my 12 week ultrasound done and no heartbeat was found. I went back in 5 days later to verify that there was no heartbeat and to schedule the D&C. I was given 2 pills to take before bed on the night prior to the surgery and didn't react well to them at all. I was loosing a Ton of blood by 5am the next morning and was going into shock because of it. My husband had to rush me to the hospital where I was stablized and taken in for emergency surgery at 10am. I came through it ok, thankfully.

My husband was always the kind of guy who would jump at the chance to have sex of any kind anytime. Now I've had an increased sex drive since all of this happened and his has decreased dramatically!!! I've been trying to get him into the mood but its like hitting a brick wall. I've tried dropping to my knees when he walks in the door to surprise he and just got for it. I've tried the naughty texts all day while he's at work and he plays along until he gets home. Once home its like it never even happened.I'm lost, I don't get it! He won't even let me give him oral at this point. He's actually getting pissed at me for trying to even get him in the mood or bringing up sex at all. All he does is come home and play on his phone. I just don't get it! Is he not attracted to me anymore? Could there be another women? Or what could it be? Please help!

Update:

Ok, let's get a couple things straight! I'm am so heartbroken because of loosing the baby its not even funny. I went my entire 20s thinking that I could never give my husband the child we both wanted. I was alone when they found no heartbeat! My husband was at work, he went to the next appt with me.

I love my husband more than anything and all I want to do is be there for him right now. I am the stronger one of the two of us. I have medical issues I have to fight through everyday and its made me a stronger person. I have tried opening up to him, I've tried listening to him but he doesn't say anything, I've tried letting him know I'm here for him if he needs to talk. I'm just not sure why he's pushing me away so hard.

    He's having a hard time dealing with the loss too. Talk to him or get him some grief counseling.

    He's not over the miscarriage so he doesn't want to get you pregnant again...and is probably using work to escape. Why aren't you grieving with him? You are jumping back into fun and games too quickly.

    its not zaaaaa mood!!!!

    he might be crying inside afraid of hurting you AGAIN with his garden hose.

    instead of those naufty texts, send him love letters. steadily but surely asure him you are ok. as in bed time, play the DRY game to get him going again in the mean time, when home alone, remember your best moments with him

    I don't know, I am pregnant and my husband stopped having sex with me. He was the one who wanted the baby the first place. It makes me cry every day.

    Are you serious right now?

    Your baby just died, and you're mad that he doesn't want to have sex with you?
