Hi,
Thanks for writing to HCM .

While you are taking clomid your follicle should mature and rupture. If this doesn't happen I suggest you to show your doctor and get dose increased if feasible or else add another ovulation inducing drug to it.

I also suggest you not to go for IUI until your follicle is grown properly and ruptured . Let me tell you some facts about IUI. It is intrauterine ingestion of sperms . Here sperms are washed and processed and healthy sperms are placed in uterus .

For fertilisation to occur your follicle should be ruptured and ovum should travel into tube where sperm will be there. If your follicle not matured only then no ovum produced so no fertilisation occur.

Also before going to IUI you should get your tubal patency test done. If tubes are normal then you should go for IUI.

Hope I have been helpful .

Regards
