The menstrual cycle is the entire reproductive cycle of a woman, from ovulation through to menstruation then through to ovulation again - sperm can remain in the vagina at any stage of the menstrual cycle. Although it's only during the fertile phase, around a week before ovulation, when sperm could swim up through into the uterus, otherwise it will remain in the vaginal canal and be flushed out along with discharge.

Sperm can survive in a woman's reproductive tract for up to 5 days. Therefore, if unprotected intercourse occurs near the end of a woman's menstrual cycle and she ovulates early, there is a possibility that sperm could be present and fertilize an egg.
