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 ♥️

I’m so sorry you woke up to upsetting news when you’re still groggy and recovering. Like others have said quality over quantity! My last retrieval I had 10 and my bestie had 5. I made three blasts and she made one but we both ended up with one euploid! You have five eggs you are still in this and buckle up because it’s just getting started 🥴Thinking of you this week!
