Sperm, not sure, but eggs can become a type of cancer called a teratoma. https://academic.oup.com/humrep/article/19/8/1867/2356435

CAR-T cells do proliferate but I agree I don't know what elephants means there

Reply to comment by EmilyU1F984 in In House M. D. there is an episode in which the doc asked the lady who was concerned about weight gain. Doc asked her to raise their hand and by seeing that he was able to determine she was pregnant. Do arms and pregnancy have some correlation? by Abhinav_Mani
Implant (if inserted correctly) is crazy effective though, it'd be a waste of money to be doing the tests.
Might be worthwhile for Mirena/IUD.

Probiotics may have some moderate benefit if your gut microbiome has been peturbed e.g. you are taking antibiotcs or you've has diarrhea. But if you're healthy then there's not a lot of confirmed benefits.

Just to note that the uterus is not sterile - it contains its own flora, although it's not clear that this can cross the amniotic sac into the fetus's digestive tract.

Short answer - no. Your individual gut biome 'signature' is established in early childhood and as long as you are healthy it doesn't vary much regardless of where you stick your tongue.

Another very common cause of jaundice is Gilbert's syndrome where the blirubin isn't conjugated as efficiently and can give a yellow-ish appearance. Around 5% of the North American population have it, but it doesn't cause any clinical problems.

Reply to comment by berliniam in Why is urine yellow? by nateblackmt
> This urobilinogen oxidizes with air once you pee and converts to urobilin which has a yellow color
So is the pee in your bladder not yellow? Does this oxidation happen instantly while urinating? Or is there oxygen in your bladder which means the oxidation is happening there?
