So in the yes.
Speaker 7 (00:40):
And when they when they checked it, like they don't

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

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I think so?
Speaker 7 (01:03):
And can I ask another stupid question? When you got
an iu D, you still you still get your purrid right?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It gets really small and light.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Right, but I mean you still the well you still
use Tampa? Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, I don't need 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 camp on right on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have a question. I have a question.
Speaker 7 (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?
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
it ran its course like you you had it, It
(02:01):
did its It did its job for however long and
then and then it comes out, and then it comes out.
What I should be able I should be able 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 8 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (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 8 (02:25):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I'm asking the But if let's say, let's say you
were what does that say.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There is no age for ID?
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Are you serious so a teenager can get an IUD
think about it.
Speaker 6 (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 3 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 7 (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 8 (02:59):
Now everybody was on the pill?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, right, sorry, was on the pill.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
As soon as you get your period, you're allowed to
get an idea.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Get her going the safe and effective in teens as
young as thirteen.
Speaker 7 (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 2 (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 7 (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 if there was
a girl that had 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 5 (03:47):
Hi? This is Jen?
Speaker 10 (03:48):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Jen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You got an a U d ah?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I currently have an i D 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 8 (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 5 (04:07):
I just got a new one placed last year, so
I'm in my forties, so they told me it'll probably
be my last one. But oh yeah, I 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? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
And I should ask are you are you married or
like in a relationship or something?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes, I'm married.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Number one, when they when they were when they they
removed the other one, right, and then they give you
the new one when they remove the IUD. Was your
husband in the room with you?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay? Interesting? No, okay.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
He did not go to my doctor's appointment, but he
expects me to go to all of his with him.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right because we're pussies. Yeah, I mean you know the deal.
Speaker 2 (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 7 (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 5 (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.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
No kidding, Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
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 6 (06:06):
I'm getturing Marionette's, but the puppeteers not above the stage
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 11 (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 in touch, more uncomfortable
than the exertion.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I mean I I've.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
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. But
taking it out. 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? Bro?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Well I had a woman this time, so she understood. Yeah,
so the strings are there and everything.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Find 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 hairball.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yes, sir, I don't recall that interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, All right, Thank you,
thank you for helping thank you for helping.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Than you guys are awesome. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
And what is like?
Speaker 7 (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 8 (07:37):
I no like experience with I U d's right.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
The because I was reading Diane about this woman they
removed her i U D Like like she was in
some discomfort and so they were like, let's get that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Let's get that thing out of there, and they took
it out.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
And here's the reason I asked, because she also said
my partner saw.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It coming out of me.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
And I was like, oh, he goes in for that,
you know what. I don't want to see the yeah, oh.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
No, beyond like I imagine.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It comes out like you know how sometimes like if
you if you go in the water and you'll see
a booye and if you're under the water, like the
chain and it's all.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Like barnacles and whatnot.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
But beyond like going to like the the OBI appointments
when I was pregnant, that's the only ones.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's kind of winter list.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I'm just telling you.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
But this woman that I was reading about, her name
is Abby Ilian. She had she had a hair ball
attached to it.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Now I understand you're using the term and you disclaim
this that they are using.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is it actually a hair ball?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I can tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What Diane's cats would.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Here we go. We don't think it was just hair,
don't stop there.
Speaker 7 (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, it's
got like the hook on the thing the te Yeah, yeah, exactly.
(09:32):
It looks like they went in with the tea and
we're like, I get it, and they like got the
hairball the.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
It is bomb city. But is that normal? Like when
they come out, Is it, tyler?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I didn't send myself the photo?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Is that a listener's removed? Are you d it? Is
that a hairball?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
The message says, oh my god, I didn't that's a first.
I didn't expect a photo to follow. 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 service, 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,
(10:16):
very scared because I could see they were still typing
right and doing something within the DM window, and that
leads us to this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I gotta see it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh, I gotta see it. Oh damn, there's the string.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh yeah they oh boy.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But that is actually really clean.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The is this was this part like that before it
went in?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Thoh, okay, because I was gonna say that ain't.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Clean, bro, because that's not the copper type.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
The no, No, that one's the hormonal one. Yeah, that's
how they like differentiate them.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
That one looks like they planted a tree and then
they wrapped the things so the deer.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Would need it.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
God, what's wrong, Diane's got hair balls?
Speaker 6 (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 2 (11:10):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Which is the one that collects hair, tampon fragments and
toilet paper fragments, because that's the one I just saw.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
What would elliotts look like?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Food?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Popcorn, untopped kernels, some.
Speaker 1 (11:28):

coot hair.

weak toilet paper.

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.

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

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

Speaker 1 (18:09):
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 7 (18:20):
Hey, thank you, ma'am, thank you, congrats on the on
the clean euds, 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 do
plenty of girls that were on the pill.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah, it's still such a small piece of the pie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was waiting with.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
No, but the percentage of people who use IDs, it's
still very small in comparison.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I had no problem finding people who have them.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
It's ten percent of those that use contraception globally use
an IUD.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's globally, right. What about for the US.
Speaker 7 (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 2 (19:15):
Lets see if I can get a number for you
on this.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Like when I think of those like indigenous tribes and
stuffing control, No, I know, but they but they still
count as people.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, you were right, it's ten point four percent in
the USA.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Those numbers sky right, we got that and that point
four percent you know what they got, Diane, hairball.
Speaker 6 (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 7 (19:45):
Remember you got to keep them strings, them strings capture
tamp fragments, hair fragments.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Strings are key, Diane.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I'm reading this one, so don't accuse me of waiting
on a line. But it says between twenty and seven
and twenty seventeen, there was a two and a half
fold increase
Speaker 2 (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?
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Birth control control? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey did you have an IUD? I do? Now you do? Yes?
Oh awesome? How how how long? How long ago did
you get it? Five years? How long? How long does it?
How long is that? How long's that think lasted?
Speaker 3 (00:26):
There?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
You know they're unclear.
Speaker 5 (00:30):
They say you should have it checked after five years,
but then I just did and they said keep on bucking.
Speaker 6 (00:36):
So in the yes.
Speaker 7 (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 7 (00:50):
The uh yeah, there's a blanket. I have no idea.
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 7 (01:03):
And can I ask another stupid question? When you got
an iu D, you still you still get your purrid right?
Speaker 3 (01:11):
It gets really small and light.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Right, but I mean you still the well you still
use Tampa? Yeah, what do you mean?
Speaker 6 (01:20):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:20):
No, I don't need 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 camp on right on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
I have a question. I have a question.
Speaker 7 (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?
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
it ran its course like you you had it, It
(02:01):
did its It did its job for however long and
then and then it comes out, and then it comes out.
What I should be able I should be able 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 8 (02:17):
Yeah?
Speaker 9 (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 8 (02:25):
Do you know that?
Speaker 3 (02:25):
No?
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I have no idea.
Speaker 7 (02:26):
I'm asking the But if let's say, let's say you
were what does that say.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
There is no age for ID?
Speaker 7 (02:32):
Are you serious so a teenager can get an IUD
think about it.
Speaker 6 (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 3 (02:50):
Right.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
Oh, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't agree more.
Speaker 7 (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 8 (02:59):
Now everybody was on the pill?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
Yeah, right, sorry, was on the pill.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
As soon as you get your period, you're allowed to
get an idea.
Speaker 6 (03:06):
Get her going the safe and effective in teens as
young as thirteen.
Speaker 7 (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 2 (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 7 (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 if there was
a girl that had 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 5 (03:47):
Hi? This is Jen?
Speaker 10 (03:48):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (03:48):
Jen?
Speaker 1 (03:49):
You got an a U d ah?
Speaker 3 (03:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (03:51):
I currently have an i D 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 8 (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 5 (04:07):
I just got a new one placed last year, so
I'm in my forties, so they told me it'll probably
be my last one. But oh yeah, I 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? Yeah? Okay?
Speaker 7 (04:25):
And I should ask are you are you married or
like in a relationship or something?
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Yes, I'm married.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Okay.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Number one, when they when they were when they they
removed the other one, right, and then they give you
the new one when they remove the IUD. Was your
husband in the room with you?
Speaker 5 (04:42):
No?
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Okay? Interesting? No, okay.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
He did not go to my doctor's appointment, but he
expects me to go to all of his with him.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Right because we're pussies. Yeah, I mean you know the deal.
Speaker 2 (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 7 (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 5 (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.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
No kidding, Oh yeah.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
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 6 (06:06):
I'm getturing Marionette's, but the puppeteers not above the stage
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 11 (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 in touch, more uncomfortable
than the exertion.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
I mean I I've.
Speaker 5 (06:32):
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. But
taking it out. 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? Bro?
Speaker 5 (06:52):
Well I had a woman this time, so she understood. Yeah,
so the strings are there and everything.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Find 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 hairball.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yes, sir, I don't recall that interesting.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Okay, all right, very good, very good, All right, Thank you,
thank you for helping thank you for helping.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
Than you guys are awesome. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Thank you.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
And what is like?
Speaker 7 (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 8 (07:37):
I no like experience with I U d's right.
Speaker 7 (07:42):
The because I was reading Diane about this woman they
removed her i U D Like like she was in
some discomfort and so they were like, let's get that.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Let's get that thing out of there, and they took
it out.
Speaker 7 (07:54):
And here's the reason I asked, because she also said
my partner saw.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It coming out of me.
Speaker 7 (07:59):
And I was like, oh, he goes in for that,
you know what. I don't want to see the yeah, oh.
Speaker 8 (08:07):
No, beyond like I imagine.
Speaker 7 (08:08):
It comes out like you know how sometimes like if
you if you go in the water and you'll see
a booye and if you're under the water, like the
chain and it's all.
Speaker 8 (08:16):
Like barnacles and whatnot.
Speaker 7 (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.
Speaker 9 (08:26):
But beyond like going to like the the OBI appointments
when I was pregnant, that's the only ones.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
That's kind of winter list.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
I'm just telling you.
Speaker 7 (08:35):
But this woman that I was reading about, her name
is Abby Ilian. She had she had a hair ball
attached to it.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
Now I understand you're using the term and you disclaim
this that they are using.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Is it actually a hair ball?
Speaker 1 (08:51):
I can tell you what it is.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
What Diane's cats would.
Speaker 7 (08:54):
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.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Here we go. We don't think it was just hair,
don't stop there.
Speaker 7 (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, it's
got like the hook on the thing the te Yeah, yeah, exactly.
(09:32):
It looks like they went in with the tea and
we're like, I get it, and they like got the
hairball the.
Speaker 1 (09:38):
Exactly.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
It is bomb city. But is that normal? Like when
they come out, Is it, tyler?
Speaker 8 (09:45):
What is that?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
I didn't send myself the photo?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Is that a listener's removed? Are you d it? Is
that a hairball?
Speaker 5 (09:55):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (09:56):
The message says, oh my god, I didn't that's a first.
I didn't expect a photo to follow. 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 service, 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,
(10:16):
very scared because I could see they were still typing
right and doing something within the DM window, and that
leads us to this picture.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
I gotta see it.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Oh, I gotta see it. Oh damn, there's the string.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh yeah they oh boy.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
But that is actually really clean.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
The is this was this part like that before it
went in?
Speaker 8 (10:39):
Thoh, okay, because I was gonna say that ain't.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Clean, bro, because that's not the copper type.
Speaker 8 (10:43):
The no, No, that one's the hormonal one. Yeah, that's
how they like differentiate them.
Speaker 7 (10:48):
That one looks like they planted a tree and then
they wrapped the things so the deer.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
Would need it.
Speaker 7 (10:52):
God, what's wrong, Diane's got hair balls?
Speaker 6 (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 2 (11:10):
Do I have that right?
Speaker 8 (11:11):
I think you're right.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Which is the one that collects hair, tampon fragments and
toilet paper fragments, because that's the one I just saw.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
What would elliotts look like?
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Food?
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Popcorn, untopped kernels, some.
Speaker 1 (11:28):

coot hair.

weak toilet paper.

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.

the survice. I don't know what the hell she was doing.
Speaker 1 (15:03):

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, ie C because when you do, you can
just get it removed and you know, get ready to.

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

I mean you can you know? I mean, yeah, there's
no age like they could They definitely could have gotten one,

Speaker 1 (18:19):
I just wonder I wonder if time.
Speaker 7 (18:20):
Hey, thank you, ma'am, thank you, congrats on the on
the clean euds, 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 do
plenty of girls that were on the pill.
Speaker 6 (18:37):
Yeah, it's still such a small piece of the pie.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
He was waiting with.
Speaker 6 (18:47):
No, but the percentage of people who use IDs, it's
still very small in comparison.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
I had no problem finding people who have them.
Speaker 2 (18:55):
I just looked it up.
Speaker 6 (18:56):
It's ten percent of those that use contraception globally use
an IUD.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
That's globally, right. What about for the US.
Speaker 7 (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 2 (19:15):
Lets see if I can get a number for you
on this.
Speaker 7 (19:17):
Like when I think of those like indigenous tribes and
stuffing control, No, I know, but they but they still
count as people.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
Well, you were right, it's ten point four percent in
the USA.
Speaker 7 (19:31):
Those numbers sky right, we got that and that point
four percent you know what they got, Diane, hairball.
Speaker 6 (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 7 (19:45):
Remember you got to keep them strings, them strings capture
tamp fragments, hair fragments.
Speaker 2 (19:51):
Strings are key, Diane.
Speaker 6 (19:54):
I'm reading this one, so don't accuse me of waiting
on a line. But it says between twenty and seven
and twenty seventeen, there was a two and a half
fold increase

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
