Male Factor Question

in Infertility
My nurse just told me my DH's total concentration and motility from his IVF sample and said these numbers were "after IVF preparation". The motility was great at 80 (17 last time before supplements!) but concentration was only 5, and she said normal was 20. Now, my question is, isn't the normal of 20 talking about BEFORE any kind of preparation? Meaning maybe it was a little bit higher? (Or I'm pulling straws here). lol Thanks for any insight!
Our Novel of TTC:

*Male Factor (low count and low motility), High Prolactin, and Polycystic Ovaries (March 2013)
*Recurrent Miscarriage testing also revealed high anti-phospholipids & single MTHFR mutation. (Feb 2014) 

*IVF (07/2013): BFP-Natural Miscarriage @ 5 weeks* <3 Madison Riley <3
*FET #1 (10/2013): BFN
*FET #2 (12/2013)- BFP-Missed Miscarriage at 8 weeks <3 Kyle Andrew <3
*Chromosomes and Karotyping tests were both normal.We lost a healthy baby boy :(
*FET #3 (04/2014) was cancelled after finding Chronic Endometritis
*Miraculous BFP July 2014!! (I was taking baby aspirin and Cabergoline to stay regulated while "taking a break from TTC" and waiting to consult with a reproductive immunologist!!!) 

Our healthy baby girl was born 03/10/15 thanks to daily Lovenox injections and baby aspirin. There are no words for how grateful I am for our rainbow baby. <3

    It sounds that way to me. WOW with the motility!! That's an amazing difference! What supplements is your DH taking?

     A cocktail of them:-

    GNC Mega man, L Carnitine and Co-Enzyme Q10......I know those for sure. I'll ask him later about what else!
