I was confused by this word too when we got married. It just means getting pregnant. We are trying to conceive now, so I see it everywhere.

Laxmi Gokhale · Answer

Conceive means the start of a pregnancy dear, when you become pregnant. Nothing complicated, just a slightly fancy word for it.

Conceive simply means to become pregnant, when the egg and sperm meet and a pregnancy starts. So trying to conceive means trying to get pregnant. Simple as that.
