text:  Yeah, it really does. And I think this was something that I fell into when I started my reporting on the IUD. My quest was to answer the question of how long my IUD would actually last, right? I was told it would last for longer than five years. And then I learned that the device's lifespan was expanded from six to seven years and then from seven to eight years. And I wanted to know how that had happened and also whether eight was the final number. Which is very relevant information because you need to know when to replace it.
