Sperm Results - I have questions

I got my husband's SA results right before NYE.  I understand most of it, but the nurse was rather confusing and cryptic when it came to the morphology result.  Can someone help me understand the results?  I don't see my RE until CD1, which is still a week away and I'd rather not Dr. Google this to death, all day long.  Any help is much appreciated!!

38mill count
68% motility
2.5% morphology

    There are different morphology numbers to compare against. Did she say which morphology they did (strict morpho or otherwise?).

    Off the top of my head, I don't know what the ref ranges are, but I do know DHs strict morphology was at 3.5% on one slide and 4% on another and the doctors all said that was too low.

    I'm guessing that's referring to strict morphology. My RE wants it at 4% minimum, DH's was 3.5% about a year ago. That said if the count is high enough it can "cancel out" the low strict %, which is where we stand. If you go the IUI route in the future the numbers improve post-wash.

    2/19/2014 IVF #1 Unexpected low E2 (oversuppressed) -> increased to max doses = 3 or 4 follicles, converting to IUI
    BFFP Saw 1 beautiful heartbeat at 6w6d, follow up u/s at 9w showed mmc. Eff this.

    Ok so if we're doing IUI the morph % won't matter as much as if we were doing IVF - yes?  My RE said she'd discuss it further when I come in for CD3 b/w, but I want to prepare myself if she says that 2.5% morph is too low to go forward with IUI this cycle.

    I honestly don't know for sure, but they might suggest bypassing iui and going right to IVF. ((Hugs)) SIF is such a beyotch.

    I do know that on DHs SA result sheet, it said something about <4% morphology not indicated for ICSI, which I found super confusing.
