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.
Implantation: The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus and pregnancy begins. Most eggs are fertilized by sperm while still in the fallopian tube. The fertilized egg then travels down the fallopian tube into the uterus. This can take 1 â 2 days. When the egg reaches the uterus, it may attach itself to the uterine lining (the endometrium) and pregnancy will begin.
