Hello First 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
