Hi!
I like this web site for people with questions about the sperm count:
http://www.ivf-infertility.com/infertility/investigations/male/semen.php

Its difficult to tell from your results above whether the count is normal or not.  The motility and morphology look good.  If the count is 10 million/ml, then it is a little low--but different labs use different normal values too, so it is best to discuss the test with your own MD.  The first thing to do it the sperm count is low, is to repeat the test.  Very often a different sample will have different results. If another test comes out on the low side, your doctor may then recommend IUI or intrauterine insemination.  In addition to that, your husband should be evaluated by a urologist, and sometimes medications are prescribed to increase the sperm count.

I hope this is helpful!
Good luck!
