Write your answer hereHi,
Thanks for your query.
I have read your query & I understand your concerns.
Pregnancy is possible with count of 31 million. Please get your wife's fallopian tubes tested by HSG or diagnostic laparoscopy.
Undergo regular follicular growth scans and IUI if necessary.
I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have.

Hello, Welcome to HCM, I am Dr. Das
For pregnancy you do not need too much sperm count. Along with sperm count, most important is sperm motility and sperm morphology. According to WHO 1999, requirement of sperm count is >20 millions / ml, requirement of sperm motility is >50%, and minimum 60% sperms should be of normal morphology.
To fertilize a ovum, a sperm has to go up to the fallopian tube. If motility is lower than required, then the sperms are unable to fertilize a ovum in spite of having normal sperm count.
So, for pregnancy you need 50% sperm motility and 60% normal sperm.
From the above discussion it is clear that no definite comment can be done regarding pregnancy on the basis of only 31 million sperm.
