Brief Answer:
NEED to repeat

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Greetings
I can understand your situation.
I need more details about your andrology consultation.
Do you have any varicocele or genital infection ?
Have you taken any medicines for sperm improvement?
Any other medical problems or taking tablets ?
Your semen analysis report shows normal count ,motility and morphology as per WHO guidelines(accepted all over the world)
From the Q&A history ,I understand that your wife is having PCOS. So you need to confirm that she is ovulating normal and her fallopian tubes are patent .
If she has problem ,then an IUI can be thought off .
semen analysis report varies from lab to lab.
I suggest you to get a semen analysis from a different lab after 3 weeks with an absence of 3 to 5 days.
I don't think you need to worry about DNA fragmentation if you don't have problems mentioned above.
Feel free to ask your doubt with more details.
Regards

Brief Answer:
I still suggest you to take a second opinion and semen analysis

Detailed Answer:
Hi
I have gone through all your reports.
Since you are taking testosterone injections and medicines for epilepsy ,you may repeat semen analysis from a different lab and if the report is same can go for IUI than natural intercourse.
IUI may be done 3 to 4 times .
