Trouble TTC a Sibling

Intro and long post about current cycle!

Hi ladies!! I actually just posted this on secondary infertility and then realized I may be a better fit over here. I hope you'll have me!
I'm sorry you all have to be here and sorry to be joining you. I've been casually lurking a while and was hoping I wouldn't have to officially join. I'm feeling very confused about my current cycle and plan and so I thought now would be as good a time as any to jump in!
A little back story:
BFP # 1 July 2012 naturally conceived 1st month trying! = missed m/c
BFP #2 July 2013 After 5 cycles of trying (a moderally short LP of about 10 days was noted. I was temping and using OPKs. I took B6 and Vitex and EPO to help my cycle). LO was born Feb 2014
TTC #2 for 9 cycles now. I quit BFing to get my cycle to return. My cycles have been short (24-25 days) with an 8-9 day LP, so after 6 cycles (with no improvement on B6 or Vitex) I got a referral to an RE. They agreed my LP was too short and started me on Clomid and progesterone after all the necessary testing (bw, hsg, u/s, etc).
Cycle #1 was 50mg Clomid and my LP made it to 11 days
Cycle #2 was 100mg Clomid and my cycle was back to 9 days
These were both on oral progesterone.
I'm ready to O for cycle #3. I had one 23mm follicle at my U/S on Weds, but my CM in my post coital check wasn't as ideal. My RE is now recommending and IUI. I'm also going to start Crinone vaginally this cycle. I like and trust my RE and they come highly recommended, but I guess I was caught off guard by the IUI recommendation. I'm scheduled tentatively for it tomorrow AM. I get if my CM isn't ideal, it will help sperm meet the egg, but the whole reason I'm there is to lengthen my LP. I feel like I'm messing my body up even more! Would you all do an IUI tomorrow morning? Should i be doing or asking something else?
