Hi, I think you should go for IUI. it is a better option for you because motility of sperms is 35%. The WHO cutoff is 32 %. So, IUI can be tried for 3 cycles. If it doesn't work then you can go for IVF and ICSI. Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query I will be happy to help.
