Sperm Analysis Resources?

in Trouble TTC
I just got DH's SA results back. Our appointment with our doctor (who we don't trust anyway) isn't for another month, so I am attempting to analyze them myself, or at least get a rough idea so I don't torture myself for a month. Does anyone have a good resource for figuring out these results? I'm mostly unsure how to determine motility from the results we have been given. I am assuming I add together the "rapid" and "slow" numbers? The numbers overall look good to me, with maybe a slightly low motility if I am doing this correctly. 

Any help would be really, really appreciated!

    Thank you! That was how I read it too, and after reading the other thread about length of abstinence prior to SA, I was wondering if 7 days might have tipped the scale a bit. 

    Gonna text him the (tentative) good news!
