IUI advise/ suggestions

Would love to hear all the positives and/or negatives! Going on our 18th month of trying and we both had all the testing done in February and everything looked fine. They said we can try IUI when ready but it’s about 1,800/per month per try (does this price sound about what you have heard or paid?) and they weren’t starting new treatment due to covid the last two months but are now. We’re paying for our dogs chemo we unfortunately just had to start so that stress isn’t helping anything but wondering if we should just go ahead and start. Besides weekend drinking, I do everything else right!!! Thanks in advance for your input/thoughts!
