Does divorce occur if a man says to his wife: "If you don't get pregnant next month, I will say you are divorced and [go] to your family's home," without intending divorce, and with the couple disagreeing on his utterance of the phrase "I will say"? And how can she be taken back if she does not get pregnant?

The promise of divorce does not constitute a divorce, nor is it binding, nor is it recommended. Your wife will not be divorced if she does not become pregnant next month, and no new مراجعه [reconciliation/review] is needed. Divorce does not occur with doubt.
