I also have DOR and I'm about to start a Clomid/IUI cycle. I asked about Clomid and TI and my RE said he only does Clomid with an IUI because of the fact that Clomid dries up your cervical mucus. With the IUI process, it essentially makes up for the lack of cervical mucus because the sperm are placed higher in the reproductive tract so less swimming through cervical mucus is required. I'm obviously no expert because I haven't tried any of this yet but this is the path we are going next month and that was the advice I was given.

I did 3 IUIs (unexplained infertility). My doctor said there is no point to do TI, and his numbers show a significant increase in positives with IUI vs TI. That being said, I eventually had to do IVF, but we later found out it was a fertilization problem, not unexplained.

I did IUI unsuccessfully but we ended up getting pregnant with a TI cycle. We decided that since there was not really a MFI, we would rather have more control over timing. And it was a lot cheaper. IUI was not really increasing our odds much and didn't seem worth it. The TI cycle was really just a waiting to start IVF cycle, but it worked! We still did clomid and trigger injection.
