you know your cycle is regular - do you know for sure your tubes are clear (as marcellus mentioned)?


if you have clear tubes and are ovulating (you may have scans and BT's to confirm things) in theory they can just do an IUI - however, they are more likely to trigger ovulation using drugs so that they can ensure the sperm are where they need to be when they need to be there. when ovulation is triggered with the shot, there is a certain window when they KNOW that ovulation will occur - if it's left to nature, they can only guesstimate and the actual procedure may not be at the right time, making it an expensive and pointless exercise. the monitoring will also tell you if your follicles are developing correctly...

good luck with whatever you choose to do - remember, an FS can't make you do anything - but they are trained in what they do - if you're concerned about treatment suggestions, ask them to write it all down and take it away and think on it - there are a lot of us who have been through IUI/IVF who can offer advice if you need it!
