At the moment of fertility the cervical plug is penetrable for sperm cells. It is known that sperm enters the uterus very quickly after ejaculation. Typically more than 50% are active with over 25% moving forcefully in one direction. It is thought that these are the sperm with the best chance of successfully fertilizing an egg. Sperm can be found right up in the fallopian tubes within 2 to 3 minutes after intercourse. Douching after intercourse on the right moment of fertility does very little to prevent conception. However the moment of fertility and softening of the cervical plug could still be some hours after sexual intercourse. Sperm can survive in the vagina for some time (these are the more strong but slower female sperms) and hence douching right after intercourse could then indeed prevent conception.
