I want IUI, DH wants BD- advice?

After this round of Clomid + Ovidrel failed, I would rather do an IUI instead of BD'ing. The RE, from the beginning, said this improves our chances obviously, and this is what he has recommended from the start. My husband will do what I prefer- he's made that clear. He has mentioned he'd rather try BD'ing again this round. I don't want him to feel like I make the calls- I would love if we could both agree to do the IUI this time. Advice?

***SIGGY WARNING***
I think you guys have to find what you are most comfortable with. Like Rumbera said, maybe doing both is a good compromise.
My RE said that the difference between IUI and TI (BDing) were not that great since my DH had a good SA. Our problem was with my ovulation. So once we straightened that out we stayed with TI because that is what was most comfortable for us. I see from your siggy you are in a similar situation. You could ask your RE what he/she thinks the difference is in success rates if you choose IUI versus TI and then you and your H can decide what works best for you!
Either way, good luck!
