Hello
Thanks for query.
According to WHO standards accepted range of active grade one motile sperms should be minimum 15% of total normal sperms for effective fertilization of female egg to result in to conception.

Since your progressive motile sperm count is just 2.4% there are no chances of normal pregnancy..

Please consult qualified Infertility specialist to explore the possibility of pregnancy with the help of newly assisted reproductive techniques like IVF or ICSI,

Dr.Patil.
