first off Shey, I'm sorry you are going through a hard time, hope that you feel better soon and meet the man of your dreams- I had to kiss quite a few frogs before I met my prince 
Okay ladies, here is the update from the long awaited apt with the FS clinic in Calgary:
It was very infomative and they really want to get the ball running sooner than later for myself and DH.
We already knew that I was ovulating and also that my FSH is prematurely high at my age its 9/10...other than that the doctor was very happy with my 29 day cycle. What we found out today was that DH's sperm analysis was not good. In a nut shell, he had a huge volume, VERY fast swimmers but morphology was only 9%....yikes suppose to be >14%. So looks like we both have issues
anyone have advice on DH's morphology??
So basically he is sending both of us for a ton of tests, DH for hormone levels- myself for CD3, CD21, HSG tests, check uterus and tubes, thyroid, prolactin... you name it he is checking it which is fantastic!
So to start- he is doubling the clomid dose next month and changing to CD3-7 AND possibly starting IUI next month....he is doing the IUI sooner, normally he would do it after 3 rounds of clomid for me because of my high FSH. So as the specialist said, "Clomid is not to just induce ovulation for non-ovulating women, it is used to give couples with fertility issues more of a chance to conceive with more eggs"
He did give me the impression that time is of the essence for us...which is what I thought, so girls its not out of the question to go through early menapause in your early 30's (only 33 this year). My mom had a hysterectomy at 27....
I think he will do 3 rounds of Clomid and IUI and then we need to get on the wait list for IVF....in my heart I thought it may come down to that...I'm sad, in the beginning i never thought there would be a problem, as time went by my women's intuition told me probably DH and I both have a problem and hence would need IVF....
enough about that,
thanks for your support girls

for your next test!!
Here's some info I found:
We've been without any contraceptives for OVER a year and now we will have to WAIT 3 WHOLE months. I don't know if I can! Besides, 3 months is a long time for an old gal.
as well 
IUI should be a brilliant way to get over any sperm issues. Worked a charm for Joli 
I've been extra tired but only for a couple of hours in the morning and by 7 I could go to bed. My first prenatal appointment is next Tuesday! 
day and my temp was at a record high of 99.04 F today! 
I want to see collage! 
for you.
