I think what they are trying to say is that the treatments work well if you don't ovulate but if you do and have unexplained infertility then it isn't going to increase your chances of conceiving. I can understand this will prescribing just clomid but I have to confess I don't understand with IUI. I think though the research has been done to try and stop doctors prescribing clomid and IUI willy nilly a lot of docs seem to be prescribing these without doing laparascopys which I personally think should be done first cause whats the point in prescribing treatment if you have no idea if tubes are clear and therefore the egg can't get to the right place

Yup it wasn't made clear ( at least on the BBC thing I saw) that Clomid will only work if you aren't ovulating/oving regularly( and even then not always anyway!) no woman who is already ovulating regularly would be given Clomid ( one would think?)
