Yes: Sperm counts can rise and fall. It is possible to conceive. Make sure he stays as healthy as possible, eat right, exercise. See a specialist for continued problems.

Clarification: If you have tried to conceive unsuccessfully for a year, it is reasonable to start evaluation and treatments for low sperm counts in your boyfriend. 200, 000 is only 10% of normal (2 million or greater). See: http://www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmedhealth/pmh0002173/.

Yes with help: Hi, when the sperm count is low ( >14 million is normal), then chances of conception naturally are much lower. This sperm count is less than a million. If this is indeed the case, then it would be difficult to conceive naturally. I would have him test again in about a month. If still low, you should see a reproductive endocrinologist as ivf would be the treatment of choice at that level.
