Disease description:

I’ve been married for one year and am trying to conceive. Last month, I had intercourse on my ovulation day, yet I did not become pregnant this month. I’m unsure why—could you please explain why conception may not occur even when intercourse takes place on the day of ovulation?

Unsuccessful conception despite intercourse on the ovulation day may be due to fallopian tube obstruction. Additionally, it could result from poor sperm motility or insufficient semen volume. Furthermore, external interference or stimulation during oocyte development may delay ovulation. It is recommended that both partners undergo further medical evaluation at a hospital and prepare adequately for conception.
