I didn’t. 5 IUIs, 2 IVFs movedon the DE and finally had success. Not the poster who said this before, but I totally agree—my only regret is waiting so long to move on to DE.

This doesn't mean that IUI has a better chance of working just that they both have terrible odds of working.
My AHM was .3 at age 34. I tried for years, but eventually got pregnant naturally. At 37 when I was retested, my AHM was <.01. I did actual cycle IVF. My RE (Dominion) said that with DOR letting "the best egg" come forward is often the way to go. I would look into NC IVF. I think that in my case, my eggs were hard and not able to fertilize as I never had BFPs. That's why NC IVF worked. I did ICSI as well. Good luck to you. I would not waste any time or money on IUI at age 42.
not quite because most people can do (financially, logistically, physically, emotionally) many more IUI than IVF cycles. so if chances are similar you are significantly better off going through IUI.

They really don't do a lot of cycles. You can see stats for all of the clinics here.
