I'm a freelance journalist working on a feature for Red magazine that aims to raise awareness about the fertility issues many of us face and I'm looking for a range of women who would like to tell their story.

Have you....?

- Missed your chance to have a child?
- Met your partner, but it was too late to conceive?
- Met a partner who doesn't want children so have had to accept it?
- Chosen not to have children?
- Not have children yet because you're unsure whether you want them - and you're not worried about leaving it 'too late'?
- Not had children yet because you can't afford it or are waiting until your career is in the right place?
- Become pregnant - and your partner left you when he found out?
- Settled for 'Mr Right now' rather than 'Mr Right' because you wanted to have children and were running out of time?

If so, and you're aged 28-42 and are happy to tell your personal story as well as be photographed and identified in Red magazine, please email nicoladown1@yahoo.co.uk this week (the sooner the better I'm afraid!) with a outline of your story.

Rest assured that this is a sensitive feature that aims to raise awareness of fertility issues and help other women who are going through the same thing, but you do need to be happy to tell your story as well as be identified and photographed for the magazine.

If your story is used in the magazine I can, of course, mention any businesses/charities you might be looking to promote.

Thank you for your time.
