Back to IUI after failed IVF?

Does anyone go back to IUI after failed IVF and got BFP?

I failed 3 IUIs and move to IVF recently and got BFN on my first IVF as well.  
I have male factor and my RE suggested me to do IVF at the first place but I have to pay out of pocket so I want to try on IUI first.  After 3 tries, I found out my husband using high blood pressure pills which prevent the fertilization that's why we failed all IUIs.  My DH got to switch to different pills before moving to IVF.  Now, we don't know that should we try IUI again or just go for the second IVF......with male factor, what is the sucess rate on IUI?
Any advices?
Thanks

yeah that's completely understandable. My insurance only covers testing to check for infertility but doesn't cover any treatment for infertility so it really upsets me. I have to pay everything out of pocket.

it's true, my insurance doest not cover IVF but 50% for IUI.  After my first IVF, i'm broke.  However, at my age, I couldnot keep trying IUI. Wish this is your month.
Good luck

I really don't want to even think that far...I am going back to my doctor on Friday to start a round of injectibles with my next IUI. I don't think I could do IVF because my insurance doesn't pay for that and it's too expensive for me right now. IUI is starting to wear away on my wallet.

I don't have much advice except to tell you that I am doing IUI because of a male factor too so we have been using a donor and I've done 6 IUIs with no success....
