Should we file separately for high medical expenses?

My wife and I are looking to claim our IVF expenses from the year on our taxes. My gross income for last year was around $60,000 and hers was around $45,000.  The total for IVF expenses was around the $45,000 mark as well. Are we able to file separately and split the expenses even though we've filed together for several years?  Most of the advise I see is to file together, but we're dealing with a significant portion of our income. Thanks in advance.
