Even if you are two perfectly healthy adults, even if the timing of intercourse is perfect you only have 20-25% chance to conceive in each cycle.
14-21 days for ovulation sounds a little too late unless you have a very long cycle. The fertilized egg needs at least 10 days after ovulation to properly implant into the uterus. You should start having sex before your ovulation rather than after. Try having sex every 2-3 days starting a couple of days after your period stopped till about a week before you are expecting your period. This way you can avoid sex becoming too much of a chore rather than fun and since sperm can live in your body for a number of days you are not harming your chances of conception.

Are you charting or "day counting"?
The best way to determine when you are fertile and when you ovulate is to chart your fertility signs, especially your cervical fluid.
To increase the chance of conception, you should have intercourse every day you have fertile cervical fluid, especially on the Peak Day (last day of wet CF before drying patern begins). Since you can't really determine ovulation until AFTER it occurs (by CF dry up or temp shift), you should keep trying until ovulaton is confirmed. Once ovulaton occurs, the egg lives only 12-24 hours, though about 10% of the time you release 2 eggs w/in 24 hours of eachother and each will live 12-24 hours. So, you would want to keep trying even after you notice a dry up pattern and/or a temp shift.
Some good sources: Fertilityfriend.com (free software as well as a pay-for version and on-line charting turorial); ovusoft.com (discussion boards for many fertility related issues, much info on fertility after the pill, and a very good software for purchase). The books Taking Charge of Your Fertility (associated w/ the the ovusoft website and software) and Garden of Fertility.

If that is when you are going to O and not just a guess! Not everyone Os at 2 weeks after AF. But if you did O in the time frame and you have intercourse there is a chance of getting pregnant but its hit or miss and not guaranteed.

You need to give him time to rebuild his sperm count. Every other to every 3 days is best.
