The count and motility are pretty good numbers. The morphology is low as they look for a minimum of 14%, but there is definitely still a chance. Are you going to repeat the SA?
My DH was given similar numbers and 1% morphology at his first one. We were told at that point that basically our only chance of getting pregnant was IVF w/ ICSI. Our RE repeated his SA though with an embryologist and at that point his morphology came back at 10%. He gave us 2 shots at doing IUI and then he recommended we move on to IVF (I also had issues as well). We got our BFP on our second IUI.
It depends on which scale they measured the morph on. I can't remember the names but there is one that the normal is 14% and then the stricter scale where normal is 4%. If it was measured on the strict scale then that is not too bad. My DH measured at 0% and then 1% and we able to conceive on our own the first time but did IVF with ICSI this time around. GL

This.
My husband has tested at 0% and at 2% morph and I've gotten pregnant three times just trying on our own and once with IVF and morph wasn't our only issue. So, I think your husband's numbers look pretty good.
Kelly, Mom to Christopher Shannon 9.27.06, Catherine Quinn 2.24.09, Trey Barton lost on 12.28.09, Therese Barton lost on 6.10.10, Joseph Sullivan 7.23.11, and our latest, Victoria Maren 11.15.12
Secondary infertility success with IVF, then two losses, one at 14 weeks and one at 10 weeks, then success with IUI and then just pure, crazy luck. Expecting our fifth in May as the result of a FET.
