Different body sites, different conversations:
Cervix and uterus = diplomacy.

Change partners, and the code resets.
New antigens, new learning curve.
Immunity takes time to trust again — even at the molecular level.

Over time, that tolerance helps pregnancy succeed.
Long-term partners? Lower risk of rejection-like immune issues (like pre-eclampsia).
Your immune system prefers consistency.
