Direction

To go to Kato Ladies Clinic from Shinjuku train station is very easy. Take the west exit and exit out to B2 which is underground. Follow the direction to go to A18 exit. After getting out of the underground station at A18 cross the street by going over the pedestrian bridge towards the Shinjuku police station. When you see a big intersection right in front of the Shinjuku police station, Kato Ladies Clinic is on your right side of the street.

Day One

Here is the summary of my first day at Kato Ladies Clinic. I arrived at Kato Ladies Clinic at 8:45AM and went to the 9th floor to get a number which was number 200. As seen in this picture so many people were waiting in the wait room.

Then I waited for approximately thirty minutes until my number appeared on the screen and went to the 4th floor. There the receptionist asked general information such as what day my last period was and if today was the third day of my period. After an hour the nurse called and told me to go to the 10th floor to get blood work. From 10th floor we were told to go back to the 9th floor to wait. After an hour wait period we went back to 4th floor and met the doctor who gave me Serophene pills to take for twelve days to improve ovulation. Total hours spent at Kato Ladies Clinic today was approximately 4 hours and paid 5000 yen.

Tokyo

The temperature is about six degree Celsius in Tokyo but it feels like minus six degree to me. The wind is freezing cold. Luckily I still have my winter clothes from the days when I lived in the States. In two days I will have my doctor appointment at Kato Ladies Clinic.

Counting Down

It is only a few more days until my trip to Kato Ladies Clinic in Japan. This time around, I am planning to document everything in detail so that my experience can benefit others. I'm very excited to be able to go to Japan again and hopefully to be pregnant again.
