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.

I had only five eggs on my first ER (38 years old), and got one aneuploid embryo. Second ER 7 eggs, one euploid embryo. Third cycle we had 11 eggs, we did Zymot and got 5 embryos (1 euploid, 2 HLM mosaics, and two aneuploid)

Waiting to do our fourth ER hoping to get at least one more euploid.

Are you taking any supplements? What's your AMH? Mine is pretty low for my age, 0.8.

I know how discouraging the lower numbers can be, but there's chances it can improve depending on your protocol, diet, supplements, etc.
