Feeling defeated before even trying

38M, just barely starting my journey with my wife (37F). I had some preliminary testing done in February, with some follow-ups in June, and my numbers are...not great:

Parameter February June
Total Motile Count 4 million 10.5 million
Sample Volume 5.55 ml 6 ml
Concentration 4 million/ml 4.6 million/ml
Motility 18% 38%
Morphology No Result 2%

Concerned by these numbers, my wife and I also attended a seminar in which her AMH was tested...and came back at 0.88. Obviously, not a great number, either.

I feel like we are in a simply terrible spot, and I feel like I am failing her. We will have our first conversation with a fertility clinic towards the end of July, and I am just dreading the conversation.

I should probably be asking a question here, so here goes...is this as dire of a situation as it seems? Or am I misinterpreting these numbers?
