■User Testimonials (excerpt)
"I was able to get answers to questions I couldn't ask during my regular doctor's visit, which was very reassuring. I was worried about symptoms related to fertility activities, but they were very empathetic, and I almost cried. I would like to consult again."
"Even for difficult questions, they provided quick and very polite answers, which I am truly grateful for! I had been troubled throughout the year-end and New Year holidays, but after consulting with a midwife, I was able to think positively! Being able to consult has saved me."
"To the pharmacist. Thank you for the advice on improving my constitution through various herbal medicines! It's very educational! And it made me want to face my own body!"
■FY2025 Initiatives
First Phase: Fertility/Infertility Treatment Seminar
On Sunday, September 21, 2025, an online seminar "Fertility/Infertility Treatment: Treatment, Work, Money... Essential Information" was held. The seminar provided easy-to-understand explanations of real-world information useful immediately, such as actual experiences, videos by registered dietitians, and information on insurance coverage and subsidies, from a professional perspective. Participants included not only those undergoing fertility/infertility treatment but also those gathering information for future fertility activities. Especially information related to money is difficult to collect individually, and the participant questionnaire showed great interest.

Participants commented, "I was able to hear specific stories about the risks and current situation of multi-child pregnant women according to their gestational week. Also, I was able to understand and deepen my knowledge about the ideal way of support through case studies, which was very clear."
