Hello
First of all read it very carefully and thereafter I will try to reply your question.
So many intensive studies have suggests that NORMAL FERTILITY is associated with sperm counts of > 48 million/mL, motility of >63 % with >12% exhibiting normal morphology.
This is a very delicate question that for FERTILIZATION require only ONE sperm but normal fertility is associated with 48 million /mL( NORMAL volume of semen is 2-6 ml i.e. 60-120-200 million sperm all in all ).
I have taken these data from books but in my personal opinion you can conceive .
Try for 1 -2 years and sex on day 14-15 ( ovulation day ) .
Still no pregnancy then consult a INFERTILITY SPECIALIST and get his opinion.
Good luck
