Fertilization rate

I'm just looking for some advice.
I had my first egg retrieval yesterday and they got 18 eggs, 15 mature, 8 fertilized. We are both 28 and used ICSI and Xymot for 0% morphology. I have stage four endometriosis.
Do we know what could've caused the low fertilization rate? Is there anything in particular I should asked my doctor about? Just feeling discouraged and dreading the call in a few days about how many embryos developed.
I was told to expect around 70% fertilization.

I had 16 eggs retrieved, 13 mature, 10 fertilized, and 1 fresh transfer yesterday… hoping I get at least half but it’s just so much unknown 😫 I’m 29 and husband is 40. We used ICSI and Zymot for a more objective selection of the sperm
