Plan for IUI # 2 & Question for those with MFI

in Trouble TTC
I just got off the phone with the nurse regarding what to do next now that AF is here. She told me my RE is out of town this week so the other RE reviewed my file. That RE wants me to do the same protocol as the first IUI. So that would mean another natural cycle IUI. Its not that I'm itching to get on meds, and I did ovulate on my own, but I just thought that we'd probably up the protocol this time and not just do the same thing again. We had a 4million post wash for IUI#1 and I just feel like we have no chance if we just do the exact same thing again.
I asked the nurse just that and she said that they wouldn't start me on meds without a sit down appointment to discuss risks first, which I do understand. So the nurse said we can make an appointment for me to talk to her sometime this cycle and then if this next one doesn't work, then she may want to add in meds. I just wonder why we wouldn't have already talked about this before now. Seems like it would be hard to get in a sit down appointment after and BFN but before its time to start a medication.
To those of you that do O on your own, but are dealing with MFI, what has your IUI experience been so far?

I do O on my own and we also have low count. My DH has been on clomid to help raise his count. For our first we got pg on IUI 2, I was also on Clomid to get a stronger ovulation.
I am thinking about asking to
I know you say dealing with MFI only, and we're dealing with LPD on top of itsomy opinion may be moot ---but I was told to move ahead with medicated cycles even though I clearly ovulate on my own because it could strengthen my ovulation (LPD related),
