They both die and get reabsorbed by the female's body. The egg does not implant in the uterus, which is its final destination and whatever may remain of it is sloughed off and expelled with the menstrual flow on the next female menstruation. The sperm, however, have a different, and much more interesting, fate. They continue swimming until they cannot swim anymore and that can be several days later. And, in their zesty frenzy to find the egg, if they miss, they will go past the ovaries and enter the abdominal cavity of the female. They will then keep swimming around all the internal structures and organs of her abdominal cavity until they wither and die, then they too get absorbed by the female's body. Bet you didn't know that because you probably would have preferred to live your sexual life without having known that.
