i've never tried any one of those techniques yet but had a lengthy conversation with RE about the possibility in future. It seems bad judgement(on RE's part) that you tried 3 rounds of clomid before getting SA, which should have been the 1st step. Since everything else is ok iui should be successful...why is the RE not hopeful ? I would suggest seeking second opinion, clomid and to a greater degree injectibles put a lot of strain on the ovulatory process and should be used conservatively. Good Luck.
