Brief Answer:
Semen analysis is borderline low count.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.
I think your semen report is fine. According to the recent WHO criteria, sperm count below 15 million per milliliter is considered as oligospermia. So, your count is on the lower side but not below normal. Motility is fine.
So, you can try naturally for a pregnancy.
Masturbating or intercourse daily can lead to decreased semen quality, low sperm count and sexual problems like erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction.
You can have a gap of 2 to 3 days in your intercourse.
For pregnancy also, you can be in contact with your wife every 2 to 3 days after her periods stop. It will increase chance of pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your question.
