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.
When a woman ovulates, the egg is able to be fertilized for 12-24 hours (1 day). When sperm enters the woman's body, it remains alive and able to fertilize an egg for 1-5 days. It takes emergency contraception from 12-24 hours to be effective (1 day). Emergency contraception remains effective for at least 10 days.
