Fertility treatment - gonadotrophin injection with clomid?

I'm 40 years, have two kids, the youngest one is 4 years. I have been trying to get pregnant for the last two years. My tubes are open. My doctor gave me clomophine tablets100mg but there was no response. Then he put me on 150mg which help me to ovulate in two sequence months, then on the third month I failed to ovulate with very low progesterone level. Is it possible for me to have gonadotrophin injection with clomid?

IUI conception rates

Why are the odds of conceiving - with donor sperm - through IUI so low? It seems surprising when the timing is done to such perfection.

Chance of conceiving through IUI?

I am 38 and have had three failed IUI cycles. I ovulate regularly and all my initial pre treatment scans and tests are fine. I have been advised to wait for a laproscopy and then try again with Clomide. The only problem is that in waiting for the laproscopy I will have to miss three cycles. When I look at the odds of conceiving through IUI they are so low that I can't help but feel it's best to keep going to maximise the odds. What do you think?

Why does a FSH level of 8.0 mean IUI is not the best form of treatment?

My wife has just undergone an IUI process through the NHS despite having a 2nd day FSH level of 8.0. I use the term despite due to the fact we have been told that we will be removed from the IUI process due to this FSH level and will have to undergo IVF. Why is this the case, and if the FSH level is such that IUI is not successful why did we have to go through the IUI if they knew it wouldn't be successful?
