The fact that there was no ferning may indicate that the timing was not ideal and thus that may be why the result is not ideal. 3 motile sperm is usually not considered to be a good test but it may be the timing.

Depending on your age and how long you have been trying, they could repeat the test or move on to treatment assuming that this may be an issue for you. IUI would generally be the next step.
