We have had 3 Full SA, always between 8- 10 million and morphology of 3-4. But the pre-spun Semen count is between 20 and 30 million everytime we do IUI. Will this be accurate? Can we say that the count has increased?

The count has not increased. What you are looking at when it has been prepared for AI is a concentrated count.

What is the chance of successful IUI if total count on Full SA was 10 Mil and 4% morphology and 55 % motility? Is it worth pursuing or should we move onto IVF immediately?

Total count on full SA being 10 mil/ml is on the low side. One would therefore be inclined to move onto IVF/ICSI sooner rather than later.

What are chances of natural pregnancy with low count of 4.4 to 7.7 mil and other (morph and mot) at lowest range of “normal” as per spermiogram result sheet? Is it better to have intercourse everyday or every 3 days around ovulation with low count?

The likelihood of a spontaneous pregnancy with a count ranging between 4.4 to 7.7 million/ml is extremely small regardless of how many times and at what intervals intercourse takes place. Counts of less than 10 million/ml is usually classified as artificial reproductive technology sperm.
