Re: Clomid IUI?
Are you not getting ultrasounds currently while you're talking Clomid? My doctor hasn't mentioned any ultrasounds related to solely the IUI, all my ultrasounds are to monitor how Clomid is working.
Depending on what the current issues are relating to you and your H's fertility, Clomid + IUI could indeed help. But, it's not a solution for all. Essentially Clomid will help to stimulate the egg production, and IUI will lead the sperm to the right place. If the sperm needs work, it could be fruitless right now. I'd push for more information before you commit to anything!

I personally feel like it's going to give you a better shot to do Clomid and IUI with a trigger, simply because you will know you have the timing down! If you're doctor is down to start, I would go for it. I'm impatient too.
Edit: clarity.
I have heard of some people having a post coital test done to see how sperm are able to get through cervical mucous. It is possible that clomid thickens or dries up cervical mucous and if the SA is normal I know that some REs check that before trying IUIs. I have a friend that had that test and it showed that her CM was too thick for sperm to get through. She took mucinex for 5 days around ovulation and it worked! Just something to maybe ask about!
