I have diminished ovarian reserve with a couple of other issues. We only tried 4 IUI's before moving onto IVF. Honestly, if you've tried that many already and it's costing you money to do IUIs (it was $400 each attempt for us with no meds) I would just move onto the IVF which has a much higher probability of success.
As others have mentioned, we didn't produce as many eggs as "desired" with the IVF - only 4 - due to the high FSH. But we were able to get pregnant with a singleton on our first IVF attempt with our own eggs so there is definitely hope. Age plays a factor in egg quality, which increases your probability of success, so if you are only 30 that is on your side.
As an edit, since you asked a few others, our protocol was called Schoolcraft. We started with baselining through BCP. Then it included Microdose Lupron and the maximum allowed of FOllistim a day.
