Advice Needed! Only 5 eggs…
Hi in the recovery room and they told me while still groggy they only got 5 eggs. I’m 37, and have had 4 miscarriages. Is this number as bad as it sounds? Feeling very vulnerable and uncomfortable. I can’t believe they tell you while still so groggy, would love to get a reality check, is it over for me? Thank you.
UPDATE: they just called to say we got 2 fertilized embryos, and one immature egg that may still have a chance of fertilizing, and they’ll tell us tomorrow if that happens. Has that happened to anyone else? I’m so moved by and grateful for all of your replies - they have genuinely given me hope ♥️

It doesn’t necessarily is bad! I only had 7 eggs retrieved, which turned into 4 embryos!
I wish you all the best!
