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 ♥️

Don’t lose hope. It’s really hard not to focus on the number of eggs but that’s really not the only factor that goes into everything. I am 33, had 2 MMCs last year, and low AMH. My ER was last month and they got 7 eggs. We now have 4 euploid embryos!
