Need some perspective- I've had 6 unsuccessful natural inseminations with a known donor. Do I keep going?

Hello. I'm a 33 year old woman single mother by choice wannabe. I've never been pregnant. I've had 6 natural insemination cycles with a known donor. This is not including an unsuccessful ICI from another donor mid last year. I know that medical literature says I have a 68 percent chance of getting pregnant within 1 year, so I have more months to go. My egg count via ultra sound says I have 8 follicles on one side and 9 follicles on another side. Genetic testing came back pretty mild results. I've been taking pre-natal to increase my fertility in the last month. I don't smoke or drink heavy alcohol. My work is kind of stressful but I can manage it.

My sperm donor has donated and resulted in 2 pregnancies in the last 2 years. He's open to sperm analysis. We've been trying once or at most twice a cycle near my ovulation day.

Do you think I should keep trying or consider IVF after 10 or so total tries? So this would mean I have 3 more NI tries before hitting 10 total tries.
