No, but you probbly do not understand what "immaculate conception means".
The term immaculate conception is a Catholic and Orthodox belief that refers only to the Virgin Mary; it means that even though she was conceived in the usual way by her parents, she was free from the stain (= macula in Latin) or original sin from the moment of her conception. Calling Mary "immaculate" is a reference ONLY to the condition of her soul, and not the the way she was brought into the world.
The term you probably have in mind is "virgin birth": that is, to be born of a woman without without a human father.
John the Baptizer was not conceived immaculately: that is, he had original sin. He was also not born of a virgin without a human father; he had both a human father and a human mother.

What Catholic Holy Day is on 12-08-2010?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe holy day on December 8 is the feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day of obligation for the Church (a non-Sunday when you must attend Mass and rest from servile labor). The Immaculate Conception is the patron saint of the United States. Judging from the homilies preached on this day for the last forty years or so, I should say that there is a lot of confusion about the Immaculate Conception. The Immaculate Conception is referring to Mary's conception in the womb of her mother, Elizabeth; NOT Jesus' conception. THAT feast (Jesus' conception) is on March 25 and is called The Annunciation of the Lord.from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980Immaculate Conception. Title of the Blessed Virgin as sinless from her first moment of existence. In the words of Pope Pius IX's solemn definition, made in 1864, "The most holy Virgin Mary was, in the first moment of her conception, by a unique gift of grace and privilege of almighty God, in view of the merits of Jesus Christ the Redeemer of mankind, preserved free from all stain of original sin." This means that since the first moment of her human existence the mother of Jesus was preserved from the common defect of estrangement from God, which humanity in general inherits from the sin of Adam. Her freedom from sin was an unmerited gift of God or special grace, and an exception to the law, or privilege, which no other created person has received.Neither the Greek nor Latin Fathers explicitly taught the Immaculate Conception, but they professed it implicitly in two fundamental ways. Mary, they said, was most perfect in purity of morals and holiness of life. St. Ephrem (c. 306-73) addressed Christ and Mary with the words "You and Your mother are the only ones who are totally beautiful in every way. For in You, O Lord, there is no stain, and in Your mother no stain." Mary was described as the antithesis of Eve. Again in Ephrem, "Mary and Eve [were] two people without guilt. Later one because the cause of our death, the other cause of our life." While implicit in the early writers, the Immaculate Conception had to be clarified before becoming explicit dogma. Main credit for this goes to the Franciscan John Duns Scotus (c. 1264-1308), who introduced the idea of pre-redemption in order to reconcile Mary's freedom from original sin with her conception before the coming of Christ. (Etym. Latin im-, not + maculare, to stain.)
