Artificial insemination

Has anyone ever skipped right to AI? Me and my partner have been trying for months! I have PCOS, and irregular periods otherwise besides some cysts on my ovaries, obgyn and fertility specialist say everything is normal on my side. My partner has low sperm count. He has a daughter, I have no children. So it can't be that low. I can't help but think maybe God is saying it's not meant to be but I truly don't see why not. There are so many couples who bring children into the world with bad intentions and all we want is a healthy baby to love and bring our family together... every negative test is so depressing and disheartening we try and try and try... but nothing. I want to ask my fertility specialist if we can go right to AI but I don't want to sound stupid asking... can anyone help me?
