I'm sorry to hear your partner's having issues.

Depending on just how low the count is would determine what course your doctor would try. There is IUI, and IVF. If the count is really really low, there is always IVF with ICSI - where the doctor actually inserts the sperm into the egg.

Hi Charlene - Sorry to hear about your problems. DH and I have a similar one and we have been pg before on our own, but we don't know if his count was as low as it is now back then. Your best option would be IUI or IVF if the count is really that low, but talk to your RE to determine your options.
