Hans has a low sperm count. His wife Sharon is fertile and has a child from a previous marriage. They are exploring options to improve their chance of conceiving. Which option makes sense given the situation?

Intrauterine insemination IU

Explanation:

In  this scenario the required numbers of sperm are not released in the semen of the Hans needed to fertilize Sharon ovum..Therefore,a technique is needed to directly inject  an healthy sperm, into her uterus to fertilised  her ovum directly,the technique is IU.

It is a process which involve the selection of healthy sperm.and injected this during ovulation in the female.With this procedure,the likelihood of fertilization  and pregnancy occurring is high,as the distance,time  and competition with other sperm cells is reduced.This makes the procedure reliable.

It is simple technique which involves the sperm washing to get the best concentration of sperm to use, monitoring of the ovulation and  optimal timing; which targets best time of ovulation,usually day 1 or day 2 after ovulation.

it is relatively less expensive.

"menstrual cycle is a complex cycle that consists of several processes. order of occurrence of steps in menstrual cycle are as follows:

1. high progesterone levels maintain the endometrium lining of the uterus.

2. endometrium lining breaks down and low levels of estrogen stimulate the pituitary to release fsh and lh.

3. fsh and lh stimulates the follicles to develop and the oocyte to produce estrogen.

4. rising estrogen levels suppress fsh production and development of other follicles.

5. a spike in lh causes follicle to rupture.

6. a breakdown of corpus luteum causes progesterone level to drop."
