The World Championship's of IVF -- The Final Round!

Like anything, the deeper down the path of infertility you go, the harder it is to turn back. But at some point, the cost of fertility treatments become too high. At some point, you realize, that THIS IS IT. This is your last hand. You've played the game. You've lost. You know what's a stake. But here you are, back at the table -- for the final round. How you made it here you'll never know. But here you are, sitting in the final round of the world championship of poker. Your fingers sweat, you're heart pounds, you hold your cards close to your chest and you look around at all the other women at the table. Some are older, some younger, some worse off, some better off. Another round of IVF seems unbearable in every way imaginable -- financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. But you've come this far. You've made it to where you are. You look down at your cards. They don't look so hot, but still, they probably aren't the worst one's at the table. People have won it all with worse hands than you. Still, the odds are not in your favor. You feel pressure mounting from all sides. You know this is it. This one hand could determine the rest of your life. And now comes the big question... do you fold, check, raise, or go all in. You consider folding -- walk away from the table, decide to live a child-free life, but you know you will always wonder what would have happened if you didn't throw down your hand. You can check -- try naturally for a while, wait and see how your hand will turn out. You can raise, get some more testing done, do some less invasive fertility treatments, maybe even another cycle of IVF with your local RE. OR. You can go all in -- you can push all your chips into the middle of the table and risk it all. You can take out a loan, fly straight to the best IVF clinic in the country with the best doctors and labs, and do one final round of IVF with all the trimmings. You can only check and raise for so long. At some point -- you've got to walk away from the table or go all in. But which one? If you go all in, you could lose everything. If you walk away, you will never know if you could have won. You check your cards again. You look around. You calculate the risk. You weigh the odds. And then? You toss all the numbers and odds away. You consult your gut. Does your gut tell you that you are willing to risk it all on a sub-par hand? Do you have the guts? Do you have the stamina? Do you have the stomach? Do you feel lucky? You might win. You might lose. You see your life flash before your eyes. The overwhelming sense of fear pulses through your body. But time waits for no woman. And suddenly it's your turn. It's do or die. It all comes down to this.... So what's it going to be?
I don't know about you. But I'm going all in.

Denver here I come!
