Hello
Thanks for query.
The report of semen analysis that you have posted is incomplete .You have not mentioned whether sperm count which you have stated to be 20 millions is a total count or count per ml of semen ejaculated.
If the count that you have posted is total count then it is lower(Oligospermia) than what is required by WHO standards for conception.

The percentage of motile sperms (20%) is considered to be normal for effective fertilization but since the total sperm count is low total no of motile sperms available for effective fertilization will be lower than what is considered to be normal
.
Please repeat your semen analysis and consult qualified infertility specialist for guidance.
