Yes, a woman can generally only get pregnant once a month. This is because ovulation, the release of an egg from the ovary, typically occurs once a month. The egg is only viable for about 12-24 hours after it is released. Sperm can survive for 3-5 days inside a woman's body, so it is possible to get pregnant if intercourse occurs a few days before ovulation.
However, there are some exceptions to this general rule.
- Some women may ovulate twice in a month.
- Some women may have irregular cycles, making it difficult to predict their ovulation date.
- In very rare cases, women may be able to get pregnant more than once a month, but this is extremely uncommon.
