Femara Vs IUI

I have been seeing a fertility specialist for 4 months now (secondary infertility of 14 months) . We did initial testing for myself and then did Semen analysis for my husband, everything came back normal. When we went for follow up results my doctor offered the choice of starting Femara at 5mg or do

IUI

right away. In the moment I told myself that I need to do least intrusive to most intrusive. I took the prescription and went on our way. I instantly regretted the decision. I have done 1 of 3 cycles of Femara and it has already made me regress from what I was doing on my own (35 day Cycle with ovulation on CD 21) on day 5 of my cycle I had excruciating pain and believe I had a Cyst burst ( I have PCOS) I am now on CD 19 with nearly stark white ovulation tests.

Is it reasonable to call the doctor and ask to cancel the medication and move to

IUI

? I’m over the heart break and this has just become a lot more stressful. How is medication that’s supposed to help having the complete opposite effect?

Gahhhh, and I can’t handle another pregnancy announcement either. It’s getting harder and harder to handle.
