Clomid, Ovidrel (HCG)trigger, and IUI-couple questions!

[nyteacher]

I just started my second clomid cycle, 100mg yesterday days 5-9. My first cycle I did 50mg, had one good follicle and did the ovidrel trigger but no success. This time I am also doing IUI.

Any of you in the same boat? Any advice, encouraging words, success stories?
Will a higher dose of clomid make more mature follicles?
Does the ovidrel trigger work every time?
Will IUI increase my chances vs. natural?

{A little background, I'm 27 my DH 31, SA fine, HSG test all clear, no AF on my own ever since i stopped BC 10 months ago. Unexplained infertility currently.}

A higher dose of Clomid will usually result in more follicles, yes. And doing IUI certainly increases your chances of success. They are able to get a much higher number of sperm to the location where they really need to be. Good luck!!
