if no uterus deformity, do intrauterine semen insemination,....?......

Welcome to HCM.
First do ultrasound.
If no uterus, tube or ovary problems then directly semen can be put in uterus, called intra uterine insemination.
Take care...

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
As I said, if uterus, tubes and ovary intact and if periods are regular then possible.
But as you said hole is very small so no chance for intra uterine insemination.
So her doctor is right in this case.
