non-conception

No pregnancy occurs

Non-conception is the failure to conceive a child—the absence of pregnancy when pregnancy might have been possible or attempted.

The term appears in medical and reproductive contexts: The couple struggled with non-conception for years before seeking fertility treatment.

It can also refer more abstractly to the failure to form an idea or understanding.
