Don't feel bad, it happens all the time. I have a hard time catching all of my turtles laying eggs and here and there I ruin a nest.
The chances for the eggs are very good, they were most likely just laid or laid recently. Are the eggs a chalky white color yet or are they still a pinkish-peach color? If they are white then the embryo has started to draw calcium from the egg's shell and is growing. If they are pinkish-peach then nothing may have happened just yet or worse case scenario they are infertile. Try to see if you can keep the eggs in the same position that they were laid sometimes if turned the yolk will crush the embryo so be careful. Don't panic it's all part of turtle keeping.
