Stims for 5 days and only 4 eggs collected.. advice needed

Hello,

Looking for some advice. I underwent IVF in April and was put on a flare antagonist protocol as I have a AMH level of 7.6pmol. I started the stims injections and after 5 days I went for my first scan. The nurse advised me that I had 3 follicles over 13mm and one that was really large at 20mm. She thought that they would either ask me to stop my stims tonight and take my trigger for egg collect in 48hrs or to hold off another few days and allow my other follicles to grow. However, I got a phone call that evening to advise me to take my trigger injection. We went to egg collection and afterwards found out I only got 4 eggs. I was devastated. On my baseline scan I had 12 follicles shown between my two ovaries. During my stims scan they advised me they could see 20 follicles, although some small.
Out of our 4 eggs we only had 2 mature eggs. We then only ended up with 1 fertilised egg through ICSI. We were to have a fresh transfer on day 5 and when went to the clinic they advised us that our egg hasn’t quite made it to a full blast therefore it was a grade E. They allowed us to transfer it and we ended up pregnant however I ended up having a miscarriage at 6 weeks pregnant.
The clinic have asked if we would like to have a debrief after this. I just after speaking to some people they have felt that I haven’t had the best outcomes and maybe my egg collection was done too early? Looking for some advice on what to do as we spent over 10k to do this and have ended up with no other eggs to transfer and now can’t afford to do another private IVF cycle.
