First thing is we should try to find out the cause of low sperm count. If it is found, then we can treat it so that you can try for pregnancy by natural means. Sometimes no cause is found but even in that case treatment is there- we can give drugs to improve the count and if the count is normal then natural trying. If still 12 million per mll, then we can try IUI for at least 3 cycles. IVF is preserved if IUI fails.
