Any sperm that does not fertilize an egg will die, and the woman will not get pregnant and will have her period on schedule. This typically happens as a result of unprotected sex that is not near in time to the woman's ovulation.

Does fertlisation happen inside the womb?
it doesn't happen in the womb it happens in the oviduct/fallopian tube. Fertilization happens when a haploid sperm cell fuses with a haploid egg cell and forms a diploid zygote cell
What happens when the sperm race begins?
There is no race in the sense of a competition, all sperm are equally affected by the chemical signals. When the sperm reaches the egg, its tail is cast off; thus disposing of male mitochondrial material; and the egg is immediately changed by the entry of the sperm so that another sperm cannot enter. Then follows the joining of the two DNA strands etc.
What happens when a sperm cell and an egg cell unite?
The head of the spermatozoa buries itself in the egg and the tail drops off. At the exact same moment the surface of the egg changes to prevent any other sperm from entering it. The coating of the head of the sperm then opens and the DNA is released and the egg becomes like a new cell with a new set of DNA in addition to its own. The egg then begins to split and split again, and again and again until a human is created.

Why is there a deadline for the egg to receive DNA from sperm?
Because the egg cell is carried down the oviduct by little hairs called cilia and the sperm cell has to reach the egg cell before it gets to the uterus (womb).
Where does the sperm reach the egg?
The sperm is made in the testis and when sexual intercourse happens the sperm travels through the Sperm tube, into the penis out of the penis and into the vagina it then travels into the Fallopian tube. And finally one of the sperm will meet the egg in the oviduct and fertilisation will happen then a baby will start developing.
Function of the oviduct?
The oviduct or the Fallopian tube is where an ovum or egg passes from an ovary. The ovum will either be fertilized by sperm and become a zygote, or will just degenerate in the body.
