Sorry for the earlier rant girls, I think I am a bit hormonal! 
Time to share the details, what we did differently this month:
 I ditched the temping, charting, opks, calendars, checking CP and went on nothing but EWCM and I wasnt really trying to monitor that but it was kind of obvious.
 We BDd every day, once a day, from around CD6 though to about CD21! I normally Ov on CD15 but I was still getting EWCM up until CD20 ish so we kept going (little did I know Ill come back to this later!)
 I switched back to Pregnacare Conception this cycle, I had been on Pregnacare Plus for the last few months
 I ate more fruit this month (thats not difficult as I am not a fruit person, I eat tons of veg), I mainly ate apples, bananas, blueberries, strawberries and grapes
 I did drink some grapefruit juice (supposed to be good for EW) at the first part of the cycle but maybe not enough to make a difference
 After every BD I did put pillows under my bottom and lay there for at least 30 mins, if it was last thing at night it was in there for the night! Sorry tmi
 I drank more alcohol than usual, not that I am recommending that!....we were away on holidays
 Ive not drunk coffee or black tea for years but I was drinking green tea mainly in the mornings, I stopped the green tea this cycle as I had read that it can interfere with folic acid absorption? I stuck to either peppermint or camomile tea
 Ate everything I wanted to and lots of it, think I put on a pound or two!
 I was definitely more active, not excessive exercise, but plenty of walking, a little running, weights & toning and yoga.
 Oh, and long haul flights to and from the US
Theres no doubt that I was much more relaxed this month (DH too!) with lots of distractions, and we definitely covered the bases in terms of BDing - we have nearly always missed the odd days here or there on every other cycle, usually the day of O or the day after.
We started TTC in August last year. We never did get around to getting DHs SA done. I had day21 bloods taken twice, the first time the prolactin was high (just above the upper range) but the second time it was normal, all other tests came back normal including the swabs and smear. I had read TCOYF so was fairly clued up and I had charted for a few cycles so everything appeared to be normal.
I hope this helps lovely ladies! Hoping & praying for you all to get your BFPs very soon!!!

Sounds like you have a plan though which is really great. I've heard great things about Clomid. The very best of luck for your tests, Fxd for you and sending 
Not long to wait now then! ...and the same is true for your BFP!

got me this morning 
though not surprised, she was due some time today based on my calculations, so despite being annoying, my body is working to a pretty regular schedule, with a very regular 15 day LP. So we have this cycle and the first 2 weeks of the next before our appointment with the fertility specialist. I think I'll give the soy another try this cycle and then be soy-free for the specialist. 
I'm not surprised you want to get Easter over and done with 
Fx'd that you will get your BFP this month and you won't even need to begin with the FS
