Eh?
Erm, ... that's not even, technically, true - regardless of how you define "woman" but slightly dependent of how you define "pregnant":
In a nutshell, there are an approximate shitton of gynaecological conditions that can mean your body just isn't that into facilitating a) sperm meeting egg, or b) embryo successfully implanting in uterus.
And, even then, there are even more conditions that could lead to you losing a pregnancy before you even realise or, more tragically, that prevent you from carrying to term.
Not even to mention that it's also perfectly possible to get pregnant without "having menses". Periods, in a nutshell, are a function of hormones ++ endometrial tissue building up. Ovulation is also a function of hormones. But they're related but distinct, so it's perfectly possible to have one without the other.
And, for the record: I'm not a biologist, nor a physician. I'm an engineer and owner of a redundantly architectured X chromosome with a basic understanding of how my body roughly works.
Overarching point being: if you don't have the rigging to get pregnant but you're going to lecture people on "how getting pregnant works", it's generally speaking a good idea to get your facts roughly about right.
