Sperm is absorbed in the body, but not all of it. Under normal circumstances, sperm after intercourse will soon leave the seminal pool in the fornix and enter the cervical canal. If you catch a woman in the middle of ovulation, there is a good chance that individual sperm will meet with the egg and unite, leading to pregnancy. The sperm that does not unite with the egg will not be absorbed in the body, but will remain in the vagina and be excreted with the woman’s secretions. If you don’t want to get pregnant, you need to make sure that you are not taking any chances. If you are planning to get pregnant, you can choose to have intercourse during the ovulation period, which will give you a better chance of getting pregnant.
