Is it normal not to have children after being married for a year?

Patient's question:

After 1 year of marriage, she was still a virgin. At first, she couldn't perform, but she didn't mind, thinking it was because she was too tired and under pressure. Later, she searched online and watched videos, trying various methods, but nothing worked. Her periods were normal, and she used to be afraid of pain, which might have affected her husband. She didn't dare tell her family or friends about these things, as these issues were almost driving her marriage to the brink of collapse.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, after marriage, it's unlikely to be a virgin unless there has been no sexual intercourse. Usually, pregnancy is only possible during ovulation. The timing of sperm and egg fusion is the primary factor for successful pregnancy. In normal individuals, after ejaculation, sperm can survive in the uterine cavity for about 2-3 days, but their fertility can only be maintained for 1-2 days. It's best to check with a doctor.
