Try to cut the squash into evenly sized pieces. We know cutting up winter squash, especially butternut squash, can be tricky. (Donât worry; in our recipe below, we share how we do it). We find that separating the thinner end from the round, wider end makes things much easier.
A ripe egg can live in the outer edge of a fallopian tube for 12-24 hours. If there are sperm in the womans cervix or if the couple has intercourse while an egg is alive in a fallopian tube, the sperm can travel up through the uterus and the fallopian tube and try to fertilize the egg.
Now, we know that it takes about 4 to 12 days for the egg to find its way down the tube and burrow into the uterus and we also know that within 2 to 3 days after HCG has been released many women will be able to pick up a positive result. Let us say that you ovulated on the 14th of the month.
