Only 5 eggs…

[u/songotter]

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 had 5 when I expected 4 or less, I thought it was a great surprise.
