Riko Higashio has been married to Junichi Ishida for a year and half. On June 14, she wrote about fertility treatment in her blog.
"Are you having kids yet?" That is the question you often hear once you get married. Especially if you are over thirty, some seriously inquire you; "Why aren't you having kids?".
It's been less than two years since Higashio got married, but she often gets the question as she is now 35 years old. It seems like she is hoping to get pregnant, and she claimed in her blog that she will go to a fertility treatment center. She ended her blog entry with a sentence, "I will do my best with the TGP life." TGP is an acronym for 'Trying to Get Pregnant'. It is said that fertility treatment is a long term battle until you actually get pregnant. If you are a celebrity like her, people get curious about it. But once she has announced it in public, she must be so determined to get pregnant.
This blog entry has received so many supporting comments, mostly by those who have gone through the fertility treatment, such as "I support you", or "Let's hope that we both get pregnant successfully". Especially those comments by people who have gone through the treatment for a long period of time must be a big encouragement and hope for Higashio.
