Hello
Thanks for writing to us
According to report,you have borderline sperm count and compromised motility of sperms.
Motility is far less than the normal values( at least 55 % of sperms should be motile).
Your doctor has rightly suggested for IUI. In this procedure,semen is directly injected deep in the female genital tract so that it by-passes compromised motility factor.
If it doesn't succeed then IVF is the only choice.
You should follow your doctor's choice.
Get well soon.
