Why does it take months for some couples to conceive despite being fertile and having frequent sex?

All,

So a friend of mine is planning a family and haven’t gotten pregnant yet. Her gynac said they it may happen right away or may take even a year to conceive. Well, i don’t really understand this.

If a fertile man and woman are having frequent sex, what really leads to not getting pregnant?

Scrolled through some good explanation but didn’t see that a woman is only fertile up to (but probably not even as long as) 6 days per cycle/month. Regular sex doesn’t actually really matter. Sex 24-48 hours before ovulation does. After ovulation (typically about two weeks before the period begins), absolutely no amount of regular sex is going to get anyone pregnant.
