Pitched to little yeast, repitch after 5 days?

learned about starters since then, won't make that mistake again. Yeast was 1 month old max and the wyeast packs bloated nicely before pitching. Tried to oxygenate by passing through nanomesh filter bag while transferring to fermenter from kettle.
only our second beer ever.

Carbonation in a bottle requires three things, yeast, something fermentable, and PATIENCE.

Really, I think some patience with this would go a long way. All my beers sit at least three weeks in the bottle before I even think about opening them.

It's hard to lose all the yeast in a beer unless it's finely filtered. You've got yeast, you added sugar, now patience.

By the way, an update. left this beer for 10 weeks and it's much better. Thanks a lot for all the good advice.
