Hi,
I have not had any experience with IUI. I did take Clomid and up until
ttc for 1 1/2 and countless fertilty test, I thought I was ovulating. My
dr thought otherwise. So she started me on clomid.
I still think I can feel when I ovulate. It is mid cycle, but I most of
the time feel pain on my right side, near my ovary.
