Hello
Your report suggest persistent decreased sperm motility and excessive abnormal morphology sperms according to report 2.
Motility should be at least 55 % and normal morphology sperms should be at least 16 %.
You need proper clinical examination and further investigations.
Besides clinical examination you need routine hemogram,RBS and colour doppler of scrotum.
It is important to rule out any abnormality.
You should take nutritious food and do exercise.If low motility persists then you may need assisted fertilization techniques like IUI.
Get well soon.
