In about 99.5% of frog species on the planet, fertilization is external. The female lays the eggs and as she does so the male fertilizes them. If somewhere is saying things differently then it's flat out wrong and I would avoid that info source if I were you. In Fire-Bellied Toads, laying, if it's going to happen, occurs within a couple of days of amplexus. If you see no eggs after that then the female isn't receptive, which is the case when most people see amplexus in this species.
