A 24 year old woman with her 35 year old partner has been referred to the infertility clinic because of 2 years of primary infertility. The woman has an irregular menstrual cycle every 2-4 months and her partner?s semen analysis is normal. The woman?s BMI is 26 and there is no significant past medical history. Investigations have confirmed a diagnosis of polycystic ovary. The couple have not achieved a pregnancy despite a 6 months course of clomephene citrate with evidence of ovulation based on day 21 progesterone concentration and ultrasound scanning.
Answer is Lap Dye for tubal patency. But Nice guideline clearly states that tubal patency should be ensured before clomifine.

I selected IUI and I assumed that tubal patency has been confirmed as we should give clomifine only after confirming the tubal patency.
