Hi, and thanks for your medical question on eHealth forum!

Yes, these drugs can cause fetal abnormalities if you use them while pregnant or in the month your IUI was performed. If that is the case, you must inform your gynecologist and the radiologist who does your ultrasound so that they are extra alert, and schedule some screening tests for you. Hope this helps. Take care!
