I guess you wanted to say "antigen".. coz its the antigen that enters the body then body activates an antibody against that antigen and the antigen-antibody reaction occurs...
firstly... sperm is NOT an antigen (or antibody)...
secondly it has a protective covering on it with specific proteins that doesn't let the female body recognize it as a friendly foreign body and not an antigen...

Because it doesn't have a complete sequence of DNA, also the protein casing of the exterior isn't interpreted as a foreign invader like that of the protein casing on a viral phage for example.
Biologically, a sperm isn't viewed as a threat to the human body. In simple terms, the body can recognize the fact that an incomplete structure of DNA poses no risks.

Sperm is not an "antibody". Sperm is a protein substance and is definitely not an antibody.
Some women are allergic to sperm. If you are allergic to sperm, then the proteins in the sperm are creating "an allergic response" in the body. But, the sperm is not "an antibody".

In the first place many issues happen within the women, her body, her womb and her brain.
I know for a fact I don't know all the inferences that do happen just that they do. There's a sudden release of hormones that trigger a women's brain to release hormones and acids to accept the sperm, while there are hormones that accept the "one" sperm that will be the one invading the egg, and fertilizing it. Then another hormone will accept them both so they can "glue" to the uterine wall and start their nine months of life there. Then there's an explosion of different hormones that start acting to help in the raising of the "baby" in the womb.

There is actually. White cells attack the sperm, it is one of the many obstacles the sperm must overcome to reach the egg.
