Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have a question. I have a question.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Would I be able to find somebody who has had
who has had a I don't know why I feel
so delicate around this, who's had an I U D? Well,
I should be able to talk. I'm an adult who
has had an i U D but has had it.
When I say removed, I don't mean like it like
it was faulty or it was recalled, but like it
ran its course like you you had it, It did
(02:01):
its It did its job for however long and then
and then it comes out, and then it comes out.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Would I should be able to I should be able.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
To find that, right Yeah, even if you got it replaced,
like if you got an I Can you get an
IUD when you're like eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I don't know what I would imagine any I don't
know what a from the time that you're sexually active.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
They're not going to give a sixteen year old an IUD.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No? I have no idea. I'm asking the But if
let's say, let's say you were what does.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That say there is no age for ID?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Are you serious so a teenager can get an IUD
think about it.
Speaker 8 (02:36):
Yes, there are hormones that maybe the interplay with naturally
produced hormones could perhaps be an issue. But birth control
is better than no birth control.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Did you, Diane, did you have any girlfriends, like when
you guys were like late teenagers or getting into college,
did you have any friends on an IUD?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now everybody I was on the pill?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, right, sorry, was on the pill.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
As soon as you get your period. You're allowed to
get an idea. Get her going the safe and effective
in teens as young as thirteen.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
No kidding, Wow, I don't even know. Like, I don't
know what my sister had. I'm sure she had pills.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
You would know if she had.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I would hope I would know. I would hope I
would know.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'd never let By the way, if I was in
if I was in high school, like freshman or sophomore,
and there was a girl that I knew that had it,
and listen, times I maybe have changed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
If there was a girl that had.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
An IUD, you'd be like, man, you are one tough mama.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Hi in the morning. Hi, Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 9 (03:47):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
This is Jen? Hi? Jen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You got an a U D ah?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I currently have an i D. I have a copper one.
It's called a paraguard, so it's non hormonal and you
get to keep it in for ten years.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And it's ten years. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
How long? How long? How long have you had that thing?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I just got a new.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
One placed last year, so I'm in my forties, so
they told me it'll probably be my last one.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But oh yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Had one previously for ten years and never had any
problems with it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Can I ask you? Can I ask you two questions
about when you replaced it?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And I should ask are you are you married or
like in a relationship or something?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Yes, I'm married.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Number one, when they when they were when they they
removed the other.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
One, right, and then they give you the new one.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
When they removed the IUD, was your husband in the
room with you?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Interesting?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
No, okay, he did not go to my doctor's appointment,
but he expects me to go to all.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Of his with him, right because we're pussies. Yeah, I
mean you know the deal.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, sorry, Jackie is going to appointments with you?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, no, no, but I get it. I get it.
Number number number two, when they when they took.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Out your the old IUD right before you got that
brand new, fresh one, bright one. When they took out
the old one, was there was there? Was there anything
like weird that had accumulated with it.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
That's a funny question. It was incredibly painful for them
to take it out. Apparently the doctor who had placed
it in. They're supposed to leave strings hanging down, so
the next doctor taking it out can just pull the strings, right,
But the doctor had snipped the strings, so then they
curled all the way back up in through my cervix.
(05:42):
And so what should have been about a fifteen minute
procedure for them to remove it ended up being like
an hour and a half. And they almost got to
the point where they said they were going to have
to send me in and like it was going to
be like a surgery to have to get it out.
No kidding, Yeah, anybody listening, don't don't let about the string.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So the string the strings are important. The strings are important.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
I'm asturing Marionette's, but the puppeteers not above the stage
right down with him ruining it all the effect is
gone because we've heard about how is an insertion supposed
to be more painful?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes, well Jen might know better, Oh, Jen, is the
is the insertion more well not in your case, but
the insertion is supposed to be a touch more uncomfortable
than the extertion.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I mean I I've had two inserted now and it's
just like a regular paps near it's it's like pressure.
It's kind of uncomfortable. No big deal, right, yeah, okay,
no big deal.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
But taking it out.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I've only ever had that experience once.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now did you check with him on the new one? Hey,
leave my strings?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Bro? Well I had a woman this time, so she understood. Yeah.
So the strings are there and everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
One last question, last question, This will be important. Do
they say anything to you about potential. I'm just gonna
I'm gonna go with the term that I read, but
something that would be kind of like a hair.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ball, yes, sir, I can't recall that interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, all right, thank
you thank you for helping.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Thank you for helping.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And what is like?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
What is like remember when they were finding like all
like those dude wipes and everything like fat birds? Yeah, dude,
when when when i U d's come out, is it
common to have like a hairball or like a fat burg?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I have no like experience with i U d's right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
The because I was reading Diane about this woman.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
They removed her i U D like like she was
in some discomfort and so they were like, let's get that,
Let's get that thing out of there, and they took
it out.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And here's the reason I asked.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Because she also said my partner saw it coming out
of me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I was like, oh, he goes in for that,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I don't want to see the yeah, oh.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, beyond like.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I imagine it comes out like you know how sometimes like
if you if you go in the water and you'll
see a buoy and if you're under the water, like
the chain and it's all like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Barnacles and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's what I imagine the IUD looks like when it
comes out. So the partner was in there, I can
get beyond that. I would never do that now, but
beyond like going.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
To like the the OBI appointments when I was pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's the only ones. That's kind of winter list. I'm
just telling you.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But this woman that I was reading about, her name
is Abby Ilian.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
She had she had a hair ball attached to it.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Now I understand you're using the term and you disclaim
this that they are using. Is it actually a hair ball?
I can tell you what Diane's cats would.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Ye oh, yes it does. It does. But I can
tell you what it is. I can tell you what
it is based on them quote digging through it. Here
we go. We don't think it was just hair, don't
stop there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It was also tampon fragments and toilet paper fragments as
well as hair from both my head and my they
cooter but the but yeah, yeah, and it looks like
it looks like honestly, it looks like you know how
it's got like the hook on the thing the te Yeah, yeah, exactly.
(09:32):
It looks like they went with the tea and we're like,
I get it, and they like got the hairball exactly.
It is bomb city. But is that normal? Like when
they come out?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Tyler? What is that?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I didn't send myself the photo?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Is that a listener's removed? Are you d it? Is
that a hairball?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
The message says, oh my god, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That's the first.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
I didn't expect a photo to follow.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
So that's why I caught me off guard, because they
wrote I had a paraguard taken out in twenty seventeen.
Half of the arm got stuck in my cervix, so
I had to have it surgically removed from there. I
do have a picture, and it's actually pretty clean. And
then I got very, very scared because I could see
they were still typing right or doing something within the
DM window, and that leads us to this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I gotta see it.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh, I gotta see it. Oh damn, there's the string.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh yeah they oh boy.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
But that is actually really clean.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The is this was this part like that before it
went in? Though? Okay, because I was gonna say that ain't.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Clean, bro, because that's not the copper type.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
The no, No, that one's the hormonal one. Yeah, that's
how they like differentiate them.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That one looks like they planted a tree and then
they wrapped the thing, so the deer would need it. God,
what's wrong, Diane's got hair balls?
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Oh no, well, actually no, paraguard it says is hormone.
F Oh, so what's what's the mechanism working here? Because
the hormones thicken the lining, right, but the copper is
toxic to sperm?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Which is the one that collects hair, tampon fragments and
toilet paper fragments, because that's the one I just saw.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
What would Elliotts look like?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, food?

Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean you get a weak toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I mean, listen, there's definitely been times where I've used
the bathroom here and gone home and then like like

a little toilet paper, a couple of little pieces.

up in there, and also with toilet paper for it
to get all up in there all the way to
the surveys. I don't know what the hell she was feeling.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But don't you she was dry? No, but don't you
wipe with toilet paper? Or is you just that that's
more of a dad? Maybe?

That's like a condition, but it's funny.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It is.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And if your dude has a big team, it hurts them.
So I took it out for that too, all right.

Old were you? How old were you when you got
your first one?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
I was early thirties. Yeah, really, I've got one right
after I had my second child because I knew I
didn't really think I wanted to have more children. But
you know, you never know, which is a nice thing
about it. I e s because when you do, you
can just get it removed and you know, get back
ready to go right away.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Hey, on any of the on any of the ones
that came out like no, uh no, fat berg or
hairball or not.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
I mean, if there was, My doctor is pretty good
at just like keeping our game face on. So got
no reaction, So I'm gonna say no. But yeah, it
definitely for me. It It is painful to get them
put in, but I haven't had a period of forever
(17:24):
and it's kind of worth it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, you know what good for you? Good for you?

Speaker 4 (17:50):

Speaker 10 (17:51):
No, I mean we talked about it, but they they
don't they. I mean, of course they're young, so they
hate going to the gun college anyway, and the thought
of that to them, they're just like, two, No, I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But no.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
I mean we did talk about it, but no, they're
not doing that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Right now, gotcha? Gotcha?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
I mean you can you know? I mean, yeah, there's
no age like they could. They definitely could have gotten one,
but no, they decided not to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I just wonder I wonder if time.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Hey, thank you, ma'am, thank you, congrats on the on
the clean IUDs the But I wonder I wonder if
I wonder if norms have changed. Like I said, I
don't know. I don't know anybody in school, like back
to high school, Yeah that had iud's, but I knew
plenty of girls that were on the pill.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Yeah, it's still such a small piece of the pie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was waiting with.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
No, but the percentage of people who use id's it's
still very small in comparison.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I had no problem finding people who have them.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
It's ten percent of those that use contraception globally use
an IUD.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's globally. What about for the US.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I feel like the US, like I can't like globally,
starts to involve like countries where that wouldn't even be
they wouldn't even have them.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Lets se if I can get a number for you on this.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Like when I think of those like indigenous tribes and
stuffing pills control No, I know, but they but they
still count as people.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Well, you were right, it's ten point four percent in
the US.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Those numbers sky right, we got that and that point
four percent you know what they got, Diane, hairball.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
But it does say the IUD use in the US
has risen significantly in recent years.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Oh no kidding, no kidding. There you go.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Remember you got to keep them strings, them strings capture
tamp fragments, hair fragments.
Speaker 8 (19:51):
Sings a key, Diana. I'm reading this one, so don't
accuse me of waiting on a line. But it says
between twenty seven and twenty seventeen, there was a two
and a half fold increase
Speaker 5 (20:06):
Observed for usage,
At any point during your life were you on a
what do they call that? Birth control? Not maybe pills
or what is that called? Yeah? Birth control control?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey did you have an IUD?
Speaker 3 (00:12):
I do?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Now you do? Yes? Oh awesome? How how how long?
How long ago did you get it?
Speaker 4 (00:22):
Five years?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
How long? How long does it? How long is that?
How long has that think lasted? There?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You know they're unclear. They say you should have it
checked after five years, but then I just did and
they said keep on bucking.
Speaker 5 (00:36):
So in the yes.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
And when they when they checked it, like they don't
take it out, look at it and go here we
go again.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
No, I honestly I don't know what they're doing down there.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
The uh yeah, there's a blanket. I have no idea.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
So wait, so so you've got it? What is what
is is there a normal time?
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Like you said, five years? Like at some point do
they have to change it?
Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think so?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And can I ask another stupid question? When you got
an iu D, you still you still get your purrid right?
Speaker 4 (01:11):
It gets really small and light.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Right, but I mean you still the well you still
use Tampa? Yeah, what do you mean? No?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No, I don't need.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
To well you just let it hit the hit the
undies and that's it. Elliot, there's a line.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
You can wear a liner, but yeah, it's not it's
not strong enough that I need a tampon right on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have a question. I have a question.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Would I be able to find somebody who has had
who has had a I don't know why I feel
so delicate around this, who's had an I U D? Well,
I should be able to talk. I'm an adult who
has had an i U D but has had it.
When I say removed, I don't mean like it like
it was faulty or it was recalled, but like it
ran its course like you you had it, It did
(02:01):
its It did its job for however long and then
and then it comes out, and then it comes out.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
Would I should be able to I should be able.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
To find that, right Yeah, even if you got it replaced,
like if you got an I Can you get an
IUD when you're like eighteen, nineteen, twenty years old?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
I don't know what I would imagine any I don't
know what a from the time that you're sexually active.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
They're not going to give a sixteen year old an IUD.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Do you know that?
Speaker 1 (02:25):
No? I have no idea. I'm asking the But if
let's say, let's say you were what does.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
That say there is no age for ID?
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Are you serious so a teenager can get an IUD
think about it.
Speaker 8 (02:36):
Yes, there are hormones that maybe the interplay with naturally
produced hormones could perhaps be an issue. But birth control
is better than no birth control.
Speaker 6 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Did you, Diane, did you have any girlfriends, like when
you guys were like late teenagers or getting into college,
did you have any friends on an IUD?
Speaker 2 (02:59):
Now everybody I was on the pill?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, right, sorry, was on the pill.
Speaker 5 (03:03):
As soon as you get your period. You're allowed to
get an idea. Get her going the safe and effective
in teens as young as thirteen.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
No kidding, Wow, I don't even know. Like, I don't
know what my sister had. I'm sure she had pills.
Speaker 5 (03:18):
You would know if she had.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
I would hope I would know. I would hope I
would know.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
I'd never let By the way, if I was in
if I was in high school, like freshman or sophomore,
and there was a girl that I knew that had it,
and listen, times I maybe have changed.
Speaker 1 (03:32):
If there was a girl that had.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
An IUD, you'd be like, man, you are one tough mama.
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Hi in the morning. Hi, Yeah, Hi, who's that?
Speaker 9 (03:47):
Hi?
Speaker 6 (03:47):
This is Jen? Hi? Jen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You got an a U D ah?
Speaker 9 (03:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (03:51):
I currently have an i D. I have a copper one.
It's called a paraguard, so it's non hormonal and you
get to keep it in for ten years.
Speaker 2 (04:02):
And it's ten years. I didn't know that.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
How long? How long? How long have you had that thing?
Speaker 4 (04:07):
I just got a new.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
One placed last year, so I'm in my forties, so
they told me it'll probably be my last one.
Speaker 5 (04:13):
But oh yeah, I.
Speaker 6 (04:15):
Had one previously for ten years and never had any
problems with it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Can I ask you? Can I ask you two questions
about when you replaced it?
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (04:25):
And I should ask are you are you married or
like in a relationship or something?
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Yes, I'm married.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Number one, when they when they were when they they
removed the other.
Speaker 1 (04:35):
One, right, and then they give you the new one.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
When they removed the IUD, was your husband in the
room with you?
Speaker 6 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay?
Speaker 5 (04:44):
Interesting?
Speaker 6 (04:45):
No, okay, he did not go to my doctor's appointment,
but he expects me to go to all.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Of his with him, right because we're pussies. Yeah, I
mean you know the deal.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Yeah, sorry, Jackie is going to appointments with you?
Speaker 1 (04:56):
No, no, no, but I get it. I get it.
Number number number two, when they when they took.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Out your the old IUD right before you got that
brand new, fresh one, bright one. When they took out
the old one, was there was there? Was there anything
like weird that had accumulated with it.
Speaker 6 (05:19):
That's a funny question. It was incredibly painful for them
to take it out. Apparently the doctor who had placed
it in. They're supposed to leave strings hanging down, so
the next doctor taking it out can just pull the strings, right,
But the doctor had snipped the strings, so then they
curled all the way back up in through my cervix.
(05:42):
And so what should have been about a fifteen minute
procedure for them to remove it ended up being like
an hour and a half. And they almost got to
the point where they said they were going to have
to send me in and like it was going to
be like a surgery to have to get it out.
No kidding, Yeah, anybody listening, don't don't let about the string.
Speaker 1 (06:03):
So the string the strings are important. The strings are important.
Speaker 8 (06:06):
I'm asturing Marionette's, but the puppeteers not above the stage
right down with him ruining it all the effect is
gone because we've heard about how is an insertion supposed
to be more painful?
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Yes, well Jen might know better, Oh, Jen, is the
is the insertion more well not in your case, but
the insertion is supposed to be a touch more uncomfortable
than the extertion.
Speaker 6 (06:31):
I mean I I've had two inserted now and it's
just like a regular paps near it's it's like pressure.
It's kind of uncomfortable. No big deal, right, yeah, okay,
no big deal.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
But taking it out.
Speaker 6 (06:44):
I've only ever had that experience once.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Now did you check with him on the new one? Hey,
leave my strings?
Speaker 6 (06:49):
Bro? Well I had a woman this time, so she understood. Yeah.
So the strings are there and everything's fine.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
One last question, last question, This will be important. Do
they say anything to you about potential. I'm just gonna
I'm gonna go with the term that I read, but
something that would be kind of like a hair.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Ball, yes, sir, I can't recall that interesting.
Speaker 3 (07:16):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, all right, thank
you thank you for helping.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Thank you for helping.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
You guys are awesome.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
And what is like?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
What is like remember when they were finding like all
like those dude wipes and everything like fat birds? Yeah, dude,
when when when i U d's come out, is it
common to have like a hairball or like a fat burg?
Speaker 2 (07:37):
I have no like experience with i U d's right.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
The because I was reading Diane about this woman.
Speaker 3 (07:46):
They removed her i U D like like she was
in some discomfort and so they were like, let's get that,
Let's get that thing out of there, and they took
it out.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
And here's the reason I asked.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Because she also said my partner saw it coming out
of me.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And I was like, oh, he goes in for that,
you know what.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
I don't want to see the yeah, oh.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
No, beyond like.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
I imagine it comes out like you know how sometimes like
if you if you go in the water and you'll
see a buoy and if you're under the water, like
the chain and it's all like.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Barnacles and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's what I imagine the IUD looks like when it
comes out. So the partner was in there, I can
get beyond that. I would never do that now, but
beyond like going.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
To like the the OBI appointments when I was pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
That's the only ones. That's kind of winter list. I'm
just telling you.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
But this woman that I was reading about, her name
is Abby Ilian.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
She had she had a hair ball attached to it.
Speaker 8 (08:45):
Now I understand you're using the term and you disclaim
this that they are using. Is it actually a hair ball?
I can tell you what Diane's cats would.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Ye oh, yes it does. It does. But I can
tell you what it is. I can tell you what
it is based on them quote digging through it. Here
we go. We don't think it was just hair, don't
stop there.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
It was also tampon fragments and toilet paper fragments as
well as hair from both my head and my they
cooter but the but yeah, yeah, and it looks like
it looks like honestly, it looks like you know how
it's got like the hook on the thing the te Yeah, yeah, exactly.
(09:32):
It looks like they went with the tea and we're like,
I get it, and they like got the hairball exactly.
It is bomb city. But is that normal? Like when
they come out?
Speaker 8 (09:44):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Tyler? What is that?
Speaker 5 (09:47):
I didn't send myself the photo?
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Is that a listener's removed? Are you d it? Is
that a hairball?
Speaker 6 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (09:56):
The message says, oh my god, I didn't.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
That's the first.
Speaker 5 (10:00):
I didn't expect a photo to follow.
Speaker 8 (10:03):
So that's why I caught me off guard, because they
wrote I had a paraguard taken out in twenty seventeen.
Half of the arm got stuck in my cervix, so
I had to have it surgically removed from there. I
do have a picture, and it's actually pretty clean. And
then I got very, very scared because I could see
they were still typing right or doing something within the
DM window, and that leads us to this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I gotta see it.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
Oh, I gotta see it. Oh damn, there's the string.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh yeah they oh boy.
Speaker 5 (10:32):
But that is actually really clean.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The is this was this part like that before it
went in? Though? Okay, because I was gonna say that ain't.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
Clean, bro, because that's not the copper type.
Speaker 7 (10:43):
The no, No, that one's the hormonal one. Yeah, that's
how they like differentiate them.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That one looks like they planted a tree and then
they wrapped the thing, so the deer would need it. God,
what's wrong, Diane's got hair balls?
Speaker 8 (10:57):
Oh no, well, actually no, paraguard it says is hormone.
F Oh, so what's what's the mechanism working here? Because
the hormones thicken the lining, right, but the copper is
toxic to sperm?
Speaker 5 (11:10):
Is that?
Speaker 6 (11:10):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Which is the one that collects hair, tampon fragments and
toilet paper fragments, because that's the one I just saw.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
What would Elliotts look like?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You know, food?
Speaker 2 (11:24):

Very good, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
Sore our hairballs on the iud dot common Maybe I
hope not, but I mean that does make sense.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I mean you get a weak toilet paper.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I mean, listen, there's definitely been times where I've used
the bathroom here and gone home and then like like
went to change and then I'll see like a little fragment,
a little toilet paper, a couple of little pieces.
Speaker 5 (14:03):
He's like the bear in the right talking to his parents.
Speaker 8 (14:11):
By the way, I follow up from the listener submitted photo. Yes,
never thought someone saying, oh my damn to this pick

Speaker 9 (14:44):
So?
Speaker 4 (14:45):
I've never had a hairball, but I have a question.
How long was that lady's cooter hairs to be stuck
up in there, and also with toilet paper for it
to get all up in there all the way to
the surveys. I don't know what the hell she was feeling.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
But don't you she was dry? No, but don't you
wipe with toilet paper? Or is you just that that's
more of a dad? Maybe?
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I'm maam ma'am, ma'am ma'am.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
You're making dim bloods and me horny.

Well, I've had an I D I have one for
like ten years, but it kept giving me bacteria about
your nursay. Sorry to get that thing out.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
That's like a condition, but it's funny.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
It is.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
And if your dude has a big team, it hurts them.
So I took it out for that too, all right.
Speaker 5 (15:44):

Thanks for they say they just go up to eight?
Speaker 3 (16:28):
Hey here, how.

Old were you? How old were you when you got
your first one?
Speaker 10 (16:35):
I was early thirties. Yeah, really, I've got one right
after I had my second child because I knew I
didn't really think I wanted to have more children. But
you know, you never know, which is a nice thing
about it. I e s because when you do, you
can just get it removed and you know, get back
ready to go right away.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Hey, on any of the on any of the ones
that came out like no, uh no, fat berg or
hairball or not.
Speaker 10 (17:01):
I mean, if there was, My doctor is pretty good
at just like keeping our game face on. So got
no reaction, So I'm gonna say no. But yeah, it
definitely for me. It It is painful to get them
put in, but I haven't had a period of forever
(17:24):
and it's kind of worth it.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Yeah, you know what good for you? Good for you?
Speaker 6 (17:27):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (17:27):

into this.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
Like did you get them? Did you get them? Are

Speaker 4 (17:50):

Speaker 10 (17:51):
No, I mean we talked about it, but they they
don't they. I mean, of course they're young, so they
hate going to the gun college anyway, and the thought
of that to them, they're just like, two, No, I'm
not doing it.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
But no.
Speaker 10 (18:06):
I mean we did talk about it, but no, they're
not doing that.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Right now, gotcha? Gotcha?
Speaker 10 (18:11):
I mean you can you know? I mean, yeah, there's
no age like they could. They definitely could have gotten one,
but no, they decided not to do that.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
I just wonder I wonder if time.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Hey, thank you, ma'am, thank you, congrats on the on
the clean IUDs the But I wonder I wonder if
I wonder if norms have changed. Like I said, I
don't know. I don't know anybody in school, like back
to high school, Yeah that had iud's, but I knew
plenty of girls that were on the pill.
Speaker 8 (18:37):
Yeah, it's still such a small piece of the pie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was waiting with.
Speaker 8 (18:47):
No, but the percentage of people who use id's it's
still very small in comparison.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I had no problem finding people who have them.
Speaker 5 (18:55):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 8 (18:56):
It's ten percent of those that use contraception globally use
an IUD.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's globally. What about for the US.
Speaker 3 (19:05):
I feel like the US, like I can't like globally,
starts to involve like countries where that wouldn't even be
they wouldn't even have them.
Speaker 5 (19:15):
Lets se if I can get a number for you on this.
Speaker 3 (19:17):
Like when I think of those like indigenous tribes and
stuffing pills control No, I know, but they but they
still count as people.
Speaker 5 (19:27):
Well, you were right, it's ten point four percent in
the US.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
Those numbers sky right, we got that and that point
four percent you know what they got, Diane, hairball.
Speaker 8 (19:38):
But it does say the IUD use in the US
has risen significantly in recent years.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Oh no kidding, no kidding. There you go.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Remember you got to keep them strings, them strings capture
tamp fragments, hair fragments.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
