What are the teachings of the Church in regards to conceiving a child during lent?
Are marital relations to be abstained during the lenten season even if both (husband & wife) are in complete agreement in building up a family?
The Church leaves it up to the couple to decide whether or not they will abstain (from marital relations) during lent. It could be a good penance if both spouses are okay with it, but it is not required.
I believe Eastern Rite Catholics are obliged to abstain during lent, though.
