Is there any point doing egg collection?

Hello, first time on here. I am 40 and doing a first round of IVF. Have low AMH of 3.8 but ok AFC of 14 last summer and then 11 just before Christmas. Am on highest dose of Meriofert but day 8 scan had only 7 potential follicles and day 10 scan only had 2 above 20mm and then 2 above 15mm. The rest hadn't responded. Nurse said 2-4 was good for my AMH level. Egg collection tomorrow but is there any point if I might only have 2? And how did that ok AFC translate to only two potential eggs? Feeling really despondent. Anyone had similar experiences and did you collect or not?

I'm going in on Monday to have my eggs collected from my 2 lonely follicles. I've been googling all day but I think I'll stop here and hold onto your story all the way through @Seaswimmingdeservesasunnyday . Hope you had a healthy and successful pregnancy. Thanks for sharing your story x

Quite a complex pregnancy, but I am sitting here now, rocking the result to sleep for the night (hopefully!)

Odds were totally against me, but I was lucky. So lucky. Hope you will be too.
