IUI after IVF Age 44

Here's the situation: At age 38, we did a retrieval from my wife. We got two 5 day embryos and transferred one fresh to me and froze the second. Happy baby boy arrived 9 months later!!! 18 months later, we transferred the second to me and got a chemical pregnancy. We did two more retrieval cycles with my wife: 8 five day embryos and 4 five day embryos (she was 40 and 41) and we did PGD, all abnormal. We did one retrieval cycle from me at age 43 resulting in one five day embryo; PGD = NORMAL!. We just went through the transfer cycle to my wife and got our BFN. We feel so devastated and can't financially do another retrieval or donor cycle. We have two vials of sperm left and are considering IUI to me (the wife, though younger, has lots of health issues - previous DCIS, thyroid, immune issues, etc). At 44, I know the odds are so stacked against us. Does anyone have any advice about protocol, fertility boosters, etc. I have been on Vitamin D, CoQ10, Acai Extract, Prenatals, Omega-3s, and Evening Primrose Oil for 9 months now. I know life will be wonderful with our son, we don't have much close family and I really wanted him to have a sibling. Also, I don't know when to quit.
