I am trying to conceive for one and a half year but without any luck. I am a bit worried now as I am already 31 years old. Does anyone have any personal experience with good infertility clinic/repoduction centre in Tokyo where from they got some positive results. BTW ...have anybody had an experience with Sanno hospital reproduction center.

Any other alternative ideas, suggestions that might help in conception would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Nicola

Nicola,

I don`t know if this will help at all, but Boots.com.uk have a fertility kit which has just come out mid January. It`s called `Fetrell Fertility Kit`and tests male and female fertility. Great because you can do it in the privacy of your own home. Only problem is, I don`t think they ship internationally. I think they have branches in America, so if you really want it, ask the Foreign Buyer`s Club to buy it on your behalf in the US and they will then ship it to you. They may be able to even get it though their British shop for you. Just a thought. Good luck !!

Dear Nicola,

I suggest you to try at HART fertility clinic with Dr.Goto. He is GREAT!!!!! He was also trained in England, his English is very good.
The clinic is in Shibuya.
Here is the phone number: 03-5766-3660 and website (in Japanese sorry!!)

another method you can use in the privacy of your own home is explained in many different languages and is called the Billings Method
here's a link
http://www.woomb.org/

This method puts a couple in touch with how to recognise the best days for conceiving according to the woman's ovulation.

Japanese long hot baths are not a good idea for husbands fertility either. If you are trying to conceive, recommend quick showers.

Thanks a lot to you all for your response.

Elisa, if you have any personal experience with the HART clinic, it would be great if you could share about the processes, etc. in such situations.

I will also go through the details of Billings Method which Janine had suggested.

Thanks again
Nicola
