I am consumed with worry about this photo shoot. Getting a hair appointment was tough, and now I have to decide what to wear, and where it will be. I did already say how much I hate having my photo taken, right?
I have lost so much sleep in the last two nights I am going to have full sets of luggage where my eye bags were before Tuesday roles around.
Had part one of interivew today, recommencing tomorrow. I feel tremendously drained from telling the story and I'm not even done! And its only one of my stories- it feels like I've lived a hundred lives sometimes.
I think that the writer is going to make the article all about Natural Insemination which is ironic, because for me, its such a small part of it all, but thats the thing, when you give and interview you really are giving up the control of your story to one extent or another. Anyway, I could be wrong about the slant, but I dont think I am...the extent of the slant is to be seen.
Its all so much anticipation, In some ways, I wish it was being published this weekend so I could get it over with!
So to wear a dress or the au currant jumpsuit? Hmm...

Connecting the Dots
Had a little read through the past posts and realized I didnt fill you in on much events of December...
I did do another test. It was positive. Then a few days later, I rushed to uber scanner Bill S with a fever and a stabbing pain in my left ovary. Yes I was pregnant- with twins, two separate sacs there. But no heart beats, too early. Then another scan, and another, and sadly, after the third scan in as many weeks, I started to bleed. On Christmas Eve of all things, very dramatic with all the family goings on and a huge party at my sister's house!
People were expressing regret, and still do when they hear about it, but for me to have gotten that far after a number of 'chemical pregnancies' (Pregnancies that dont make it to the two week missed period mark which can be confirmed by blood test), it was a minor triumph, and I choose to view it that way. I dont think I shared all that before, so that should bring you up to speed there.
Anyway, all thats in the past. I plan to have another go in May, with two potential donors in consideration, one in Denmark, and one in Canada- but still open to finding one closer to home. Lots of choice, but I am sooo picky!
As for today, found out I'll have to do a photo shoot for the newspaper piece- Eek, I hate having my photo taken! But as needs must I suppose...so to find someone to do my hair on short notice, no mean feat.
Again, lots of choice but I am sooo picky!
Tomorrow I have the interview, and my second niece will be born by C-section.
Ahh, life! *:-)

Hello Again!
Ok, it HAS been far too long since I last posted.
I had a miscarriage on Christmas Eve and just had to give the whole pregnancy topic a break.
I travelled around the UK during January and February and even part of March, but now I'm back in London and back on the donor prowl!
Looks like I may be interviewed in the Times this weekend talking about these adventures, which is a bit nerve-wracking!
Still, its so important and so many people are going through it or would like to that I decided it was important to speak out when asked...
Over the next few days, I'll try to bring you up to speed on what has gone on with the prospective donors during my blog hiatus
So until then
