IUI ....why is it everyother cycle?

in TTC after 35

Is this screwed up or just my RE's philosophy. I understand the whole BCP thing but now I'm day one and will call RE's Monday. When the nurse told me I was negative I told her we discussed with the RE that we will move to injectables....she then said okay call us when Af is here and then mentioned BCP and some teaching for inj.'s. I said okay but now I'm thinking (overthinking) BCP that means I will be missing this cycle......is this not conterintuitive.....is the BCP for regulating cycle....Im feeling pretty regulated after the previous two months of meds......

Maybe I'm overanalyzing, but I'm going by what happened last try. Stopped BCP jan 28, had AF, then began monitoring, did trigger, did insemination, waiting...by this time it is now Mar. so 2 cycles past...is this normal????

TTC since 2009 very frustrated 42yr and DH 40

5 cycles of Clomid with satisfactory response=BFN's
Fibroid removal Nov2010
IUI Clomid #1 Feb 2011...BFN..damn it!
IUI Inject's #2 Apr 2011...CANCELLED...low estradiol
IUI Inject's #3 June 2011...BFN
IUI Inject's #4 Sept2011...BFFN
Lap Dec 2011...severe endo..cyst removed..some remains...
IVF#1 Apr 2012 ....cancelled due to over suppression

surgery suggested to move ovary to an better placement but....we moved two time zones away and are financially and emotionally empty

    Don't have any experience with IUI. But my RE said some REs use BCP so that they can regulate to do what they want when they want (ie-insemination for IUI).  My RE does not use BCP which I appreciate, as I want to have opportunity to get lucky on our own when the opportunity presents itself.

    I'm not doing BCP's or skipping cycles for IUI (unless a cyst shows up on CD3's ultrasound.). I've never heard anyone mentioning this procedure for IUI's on the IF or TTTC board either..  We don't have that kind of time to waste. Can you question it?
