How is it possible in ectopic pregnancy for sperm to contact an egg that doesn't enter the uterine tube

Either the sperm goes out the ends of the tube into the abdominal cavity OR the sperm fertilize the egg in the normal place within the tube and then the fertilized embryo gets expelled back out the tube. This is why we are careful not to do HSGs (tubal dye tests) during days after a woman has already ovulated.
