Dr. Baracat, slow uterine peristaltic motions (contractions) have been documented with endovaginal sonography. The peristaltic motion is in the direction of the cervix during menses and toward the fundus during mid-cycle ovulation times. This was thought to help remove the sloughing endomentrium at menses and perhaps aid sperm travel at ovulation.

I also saw a video on USA Public Television (about 2-3 years ago, either NOVA or a BBC production) which showed a sudden downwards motion of the cervix with female orgasms. It was presumed that both the peristaltic motions and these "dipping" motions were a natural process to aid fertility and not a hindrance to it.

There certainly is room for more research in to this somewhat obscure aspect of human reproduction.
