Welcome Karen!

I hope your stay is short and sweet. Doing IUI's with clomid is a very good idea, espeically if your DH's sperm is borderline. My DH's morphology was borderline and we did 3 cycles of IUI with Clomid.
I finally had to move onto the injectables, but did get pregnant with IUI and the injectables. =)

IUI is very helpful because of 2 things from what my RE told me.

First off, they will take your DH's sample, and spin it in a speical liquid. That will assist the more healthier sperm to the top of the liquid, and they will inject that into the uterus with a tiny catheter.
And that's the second benifit, is that the sperm get to the egg faster.

Sometimes, Clomid can dry up cervical mucus. And that mucus is very importnant to facilitating the passage of the sperm into the vagina and through the cervix.
(they need it to swim in it) And with IUI the sperm completely "bypass" the cervix making it easier for them to reach the egg. =)

I used an ovulation predictor kit and called my doctor the day of my surge, and they did IUI that day and the day after. The IUI itself is very easy, much like a pap smear. It's very quick and fairly comfortable. I am the worse baby in the world when it comes to pain, and I thought it wasn't bad at all. (ha ha)

Goooood luck and I hope this works for you!

Take care,

Donna
