How do sperm get to the egg?

Factual Questions
1

I understand a bit more then the basics of reproduction. I know that during a woman’s fertile period the cervix opens a teeny bit, and after intercourse and ejaculation, the sperm is right there, ready to squiggle in. The little guys are sitting in semen right at the cervix, and typically a woman’s special fertile cervical mucus helps the little guys get through the cervix.

The sperm may make it through to meet up with the egg in the fallopian tube, potentially fertilize the egg, and it makes it’s way down and implants in the uterus.

Now, my question is, how to the sperm get through the uterus to the tubes? I don’t think the uterus is filled with fluid, right? Do they kind of squiggle up the uterine walls? Are the uterine walls liquid-y? Is it like a viscous environment in there? How do they get through that space?

THIS is what I think of when trying to fall asleep.

Here’s your faulty assumption.

Uterine luminal fluid is the medium the sperm swim through.

Well there you go, quick and easy answer. Thank you, I’ll go look up Uterine luminal fluid and do a bit of self education.
