    Can you check your email sentbox to find when you entered it maybe? Then search again on here to see if you have more luck? When she rings back, just ask if there is any way they could please move it to the week after etc. Good luck, sorry to hear you might lose it :(

    Oh Toni, I don't know what to say. Beg and plead when she rings again!!! Perhaps they could reschedule if they really like your story and with the IVF connection affecting so many women it would be worth their while, I'm sure. They could make a great story out of you for the magazine. Just try and sell the idea to them.

    Best of luck. xx
