34M dating 33F — IVF concerns

I've been dating a woman for around 3 months and she's absolutely amazing. We have great chemistry, loads in common, and I can genuinely see a lot of potential with her.

The only concern is that she has an issue with her ovaries which means conceiving naturally is unlikely, and a doctor has said IVF would probably be needed if she wanted to have children.

I don't mind the idea of IVF itself, but I do worry about the possibility of going through it and it not working. I worry that if we were unable to have children, it could potentially put a lot of pressure on the relationship or even affect how we felt about each other.

She was upset when she told me, and I didn't want to go into detail about her condition at that moment or dampen the mood further. So I haven't really discussed the specifics with her yet.

Am I worrying too much about something that is still hypothetical, or is this a legitimate concern to consider before becoming more serious with someone?
