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?

This is an anecdote, not data, but . . . we were struggling to get pregnant the second time, and we went to talk to the doctor, and she basically said, are you having sex when she is ovulating? And we said, yes, we’re having lots of sex, and the doctor said but are you having sex when she is ovulating? We were pregnant the second month.

Volume of sex isn’t the issue. If the woman isn’t ovulating, nothing is going to happen.
