Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. It appears to be abnormal. Motility is too low, to acheive pregnancy through routine methods.
2. Require IVF method for conception.
3. Count is good. Take Vit E, coA and B12 supplements along with nutritional diet. A sperm biopsy may be necessary, to identify any possible cause.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
