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.
If the egg was fertilized by the sperm, it will travel to your uterus and implant itself in the uterine wall which takes about 6 to 12 days. At this point, your body will start producing HCG which means that a pregnancy test can detect HCG only after the implantation of the fertilized egg has occurred.
