Brief Answer:
Hi, I think you should go for IVF.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to healthcaremagic.
I have seen all your reports. The main problem with your semen analysis is severe teratospermia. In that case, there are chances of abnormalities in baby even if you conceive naturally or by IUI.
In my opinion, it is better to undergo IVF with ICSI or IMSI for you. It will help in selecting the best sperm and to make good embryos.
It will reduce the risk of miscarriages and abnormality in baby.
Also, get a chromosomal analysis done for yourself.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.

Brief Answer:
IUI will not be advisable.
Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think IUI is not advisable in your case.
In IVF, sperms and egg are brought into contact. Sperm fertilizes egg naturally.
In ICSI, one sperm is selected by the embryologist and fertilized with egg manually. It is done under high magnification. Sperm with good morphology can be chosen. IMSI is same thing but magnification is much higher. So, the selection is better.
Regarding chromosomal analysis, I think only your analysis will be fine. It will tell you regarding any aneuploidy or other genetic defect in your sperm. It will help in deciding further treatment.
Discuss with your doctor regarding these things. Hope it helps.
