If the egg is fertilized and implants successfully, you're pregnant. If you miss this ovulation window, you can't get pregnant. Women can have different signs that they're ovulating, and some may not have any indicators at all. The timing of ovulation varies.
For some women, it happens on a different day every month. For others, it's on the same day of their monthly cycle, like clockwork.

The fallopian tubes do not directly attach to the ovaries. Sperm must swim up from the cervix , through the uterus, and into the fallopian tubes. When an egg is released from the ovaries, hair-like projections from the fallopian tube draw the egg inside. Conception takes place inside the fallopian tube, where the sperm and egg finally meet.
If anything prevents the fallopian tubes from working properly, or if scarring blocks the sperm or egg from meeting, you won't be able to get pregnant. There are many possible causes of blocked fallopian tubes. While some women with blocked tubes experience pelvic pain, many others have no symptoms. Only fertility testing can determine if your tubes are open. An HSG is a specialized X-ray used to determine if your fallopian tubes are open. Endometriosis is when endometrium-like tissue which is the tissue that lines the uterus grows in places outside of the uterus.
The most common symptoms of endometriosis include painful periods and pelvic pain at times besides menstruation. However, not all women with endometriosis have these symptoms.

Also, an undiagnosed sexually transmitted illness can cause infertility. You may not have any symptoms of the disease.
Some doctors say this is a lack of good diagnosis. They say there is no such thing as unexplained infertility but only undiscovered or undiagnosed problems. The fact remains, though, that some couples don't get answers. However, not having answers doesn't mean you can't be treated. You can and should still receive treatment for infertility even if your diagnosis is unexplained. If you're having difficulty getting pregnant, know that there is help available. Many couples put off testing and treatment , waiting for a miracle or thinking they should just "try a little longer" first.
This is a mistake. Some causes of infertility worsen with time. The sooner you get help, the more likely fertility treatments will work for you. Another reason couples sometimes delay testing is they feel and seem to be in perfect health. It's true that you and your partner may have no signs or symptoms of a fertility problem.
You may have a textbook day menstrual cycle, but that doesn't mean you're guaranteed fast and smooth results when trying to get pregnant, and that doesn't mean you may not have a fertility problem. The reasons for infertility aren't always observable to the lay person.
