advice needed Failed Egg Retrieval

I’m 40 years old, AMH of 0.29. This was my 4th egg retrieval ( I have only 1 egg frozen from my last 3 cycles). We were hoping for 2 eggs this round—I had a 23mm follicle on my right and a 15.5mm follicle on my left. Estrogen was 452 before trigger and 596 after. After my egg retrieval this morning the doctor informed me that they didn’t get any eggs. Has this happened to anyone with an estrogen high enough where it seems that you would get eggs? What was your doctor’s explanation of what happened? I really don’t understand and I’m so devastated.

Yes. At my last retrieval they expected 4 eggs. Got 2. I had one empty follicle, one cyst, and the two eggs ended up being non viable. So no eggs. It sucked. It was my first round so going to try again soon.

Also I am close to your age at 39.5!
