June 04, 2025 • Cassie Silver • Season 4 • Episode 104

When one partner is ready to end the IVF journey while the other wants to continue, couples face one of fertility treatment's most challenging emotional crossroads. In this episode, Dr. Alice Huang addresses this delicate relationship dynamic with sensitivity and clinical wisdom, exploring how couples can navigate different grief timelines, financial considerations, and future family-building alternatives. At Genea Fertility Melbourne City, she helps patients identify when treatment fatigue differs from genuine readiness to stop, offering communication strategies that honour both partner's perspectives. Dr. Huang's approach blends evidence-based medicine with a holistic understanding of each individual's journey, providing guidance for couples seeking resolution when their fertility goals no longer align.
