No, a leap year does not affect the biological processes of conception or pregnancy.

Leap years simply add an extra day to the calendar and have no impact on fertility.

The extra 14 days combined with an additional day added to the calendar is associated with the transition from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar. This adjustment was made to correct inaccuracies in the Julian system, which miscalculated the solar year. The term for this adjustment is often referred to as a "calendar reform," and the extra day added in a leap year is simply known as "Leap Day."
What does leap year men?
The Earth takes 365 days to rotate around the sun right? Wrong. It actually takes 365 days, and 1/4th of a day. So every four years, you become a day off. As time goes on, the calendar gets more, and more out of whack. Scientists first noticed this when they were celebrating the New Year in April, and they thought, 'that's not right.' They came up with a solution: every four years, add an extra day and 'leap forward' to get back with the calendar. Since February only has 28 days normally, they decided this month would be best to add that day. Happy Leap Year!

However Germany did not until 1700 and Great Britain waited until 1752. Russia did not change until 1918.
How many days are in a lunar calendar?
A lunar calendar is based on the phases of the Moon and typically consists of 354 days in a year, which is 12 lunar months of 29 or 30 days each. However, to align it with the solar year, some lunar calendars, like the Islamic calendar, may add an extra month in a leap year, resulting in 13 months and around 383 days in that leap year. Generally, lunar calendars are shorter than the solar calendar, which has 365 or 366 days.
What is the reason of leap year?
Leap years are necessary because the actual length of a year is 365.242 days, not 365 days, as commonly stated. Basically, leap years occur every 4 years, and years that are evenly divisible by 4 (2004, for example) have 366 days. This extra day is added to the calendar on February 29th.

During a leap year we add an extra day to our calendar because?
During a leap year, we add an extra day to our calendar to account for the fact that a complete orbit of the Earth around the Sun takes approximately 365.25 days. To keep our calendars aligned with the Earth's position relative to the Sun, an extra day is added to February, making it 29 days long instead of the usual 28. This adjustment helps maintain the consistency of seasonal events over time. Leap years occur every four years, with some exceptions for years divisible by 100 but not by 400.
