Differences between 妊娠 and 受胎
It is true that some English-Japanese dictionaries list 妊娠｛にんしん｝ as meaning
"conception", but I do not agree with this. 妊娠 means pregnant (i.e. the state
of carrying a fertilized egg / embryo in one's womb), where as 受胎｛じゅたい｝ means
conception (i.e. the process of becoming pregnant).

If we check the Japanese explanations on kotobank.jp we have the following:

受胎

```

    妊娠｛にんしん｝の成立｛せいりつ｝をいう。精子｛せいし｝が卵子｛らんし｝と出会｛であ｝って受精｛じゅせい｝が起｛おこ｝り，
    受精卵｛じゅせいらん｝が卵管{らんかん}内｛ない｝を移動｛いどう｝して子宮腔｛しきゅうくう｝内に達｛たっ｝し，子宮｛しきゅう｝内膜｛ないまく｝に着床｛ちゃくしょう｝して妊娠｛にんしん｝するまでの一連｛いちれん｝の生理｛せいり｝現象｛げんしょう｝をさす。
    
    The formation of a pregnancy. Sperm meets eggs such that fertilization occurs, whereafter 
    the fertilized egg moves through the oviduct until it reaches the uterine cavity and gets 
    implanted in the endometrium. This process leading to pregnancy is referred to as 受胎.
    
```

妊娠

```

    受精卵{じゅせいらん｝が女性｛じょせい｝の体内｛たいない｝にある子宮｛しきゅう｝に着床｛ちゃくしょう｝、赤｛あか｝ちゃん（胎児｛たいじ｝）として成長｛せいちょう｝、赤｛あか｝ちゃんや胎盤｛たいばん｝が体外｛たいがい｝に出｛で｝るまでの
    体｛からだ｝の“状態｛じょうたい｝”を妊娠｛にんしん｝といいます。
    
    The state of a body, where a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus of a female and 
    develops into an infant (fetus), until the infant and the placenta goes out of the body, 
    is referred to as 妊娠.
