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.
It will take up to 6 days for the sperm and egg to join together and make a fertilized egg. Then it still takes 6-10 days for the fertilized egg to implant itself in the lining of the uterus completely.
