Thinking about IUI?? Need Advice

Hello everyone, I am entering my fifth month of fertility treatment with no success story yet. I have been using femara with ovidrel for the past two cycles. I'm considering IUI this coming cycle but it's not covered by my insurance. My DH has excellent everything and I have stage 2 endo no blockages. Has anyone else had mild endo and tried IUI with success? I'm a little disheartened.

I did 4 rounds of IUI with no success. While my insurance covered it, I know the cost for each attempt was around $400. I think they usually recommend 2-4 IUI attempts before moving on to IVF.

Of course, I also have a high FSH which means I'm a bit low on eggs.
