Seems like he enjoys more structure and she kinda likes mayhem. For example, he goes to bed at the same time every night and she hates that.
She is 40 (this was announced in the first episode), so they better hurry up with the kids things.
Many women have unusable eggs by age 40 -- some even earlier. Others are lucky and can go a bit after 40, but the dirty secret of IVF is that most women over 40 have to use donor eggs.
In fact, most IVF doctors will refuse to do procedures for women 44+ with their own eggs, no matter how much they're offered. It is considered unethical to do this, as IVF requires a surgical procedure to get the eggs, and also requires a lot of painful prep. Therefore, it is non-trivial for women to undergo, and doctors are strongly discouraged from taking money for chicks in their 40s and giving them false hope.
Now, when it comes to female fertility, 40 and 44 are a tremendous difference. But as I said, many women who are 40 simply cannot use their own eggs, and even if they sunk a billion dollars into the effort, they would still fail. The success and failure chances often cannot be ascertained until an IVF procedure is actually attempted.
In short, they need to get on this....yesterday.
