Number of eggs after egg retrieval

Just wondering if anyone knows what the average number of eggs are after egg retreival?  I am 33yrs old and had egg retrieval today.  this is my 3rd cycle, pos. preg.1st cycle, have a little girl.  2nd cycle in the spring resulted in blighted ovum.  My 1st cycle they got 12 eggs total, 9 mature.  2nd cycle they got 15 eggs, 8 mature, this time they got 8 total eggs.  I won't know until tomorrow how many are mature.  They said 8 is a good number because the average number is between 2-4. And that all could be mature. I thought that sounded a little low esp. since I produced so many in the past.  My hubby and I have male factor infertility.  I am not totally upset but a little bummed I did not produce more eggs.  They will perform ICSI and some do not always survive for fertilization. So I am nervous that I won't have any to transfer.

Yay!! Couldn't wait so I took a urine pregnancy and it says I am pregnant.  I know, I know...but I can't help but celebrate.  One day at a time, right?

I'm 44yo and just underwent my 1st ivf cycle.  I had 36 eggs retrieved.  18 underwent ICSI and 18 without with a final number of 19 fertilized.  ICSI was less successful (go figure). I underwent a day 5 transfer of three embryos and froze two.  We have a week to wait to see if it took.  Hoping for the best.
