New here, and confused by Husband's test

My husband recently had a semen analysis and I am confused with the results that they gave on the phone. Can someone please help. they have to call us back with the rest of the results but this is what I have.

Motile 6.7 (not sure what this means)
Volume 4.2 (not sure what this means)
Motile count 40%
Morphology 0% which they said is normal but I read otherwise online
Velocity Normal.

What else should I be asking from them?

I have learned so much already, and am still new myself...everyone is very nice and helpful here.

I think you are missing the number of sperm per whatever cc of fluid....for instance, 3 million, 20 million, 100 million, etc. That helps let you know better where you are. I wouldn't think 0% morphology wouldn't be normal (I don't know much about morphology) and I would follow up on that. Apparently anything less than 20 million count is considered a "low" sperm count, which is what we have (see my signature below). Don't know if that helped!

Thanks Everyone!
He had another SA on Tuesday and he will have an ultra sound this coming Tuesday. After that we will talk to the doctor and hopefully know more.

Even if they do say it is low is it still possible to concieve naturally?

I also did some research and I had him start taking Fertility Blend for men and I am taking the Women's version of it. I have read people have good results with this. Has anyone on this board used it?
I do not have my consultation with my doctor until the 23rd of July. So I guess it is the waiting game for now.
