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.
The fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tube and divides into more and more cells. It reaches the uterus about 3â4 days after fertilization. The dividing cells then form a ball that floats free in the uterus for about 2â3 days. Pregnancy begins when the ball of cells attaches to the lining of the uterus.
