My wife had 8 eggs retrieved. Some of her follicles were too small to produce mature eggs.

It depends upon the woman's ability to have eggs she may produce. Then after it, there is a retrieval of eggs which to have a chance to become fertilized.

during one cycle I had 21 eggs retrieved but only 16 were fertilized and I got zero on that cycle. another time, I had 16 retrieved and 10 were fertilized. Again, zero.

My doctor told me I have 7 follicles, which is OK by their standards and low for me.

To Kit 8 eggs in one cycle is not so bad. Also, small follicles tend to yield fewer eggs, so this is the reason why only 8 were harvested.

A good egg retrieval may obtain 10 to 20 eggs. An egg retrieval typically takes 15-20 minutes.
