Red face Little Yellow Eggs found in plant compost! Pictures attached

Im repotting a house plant into a larger pot and im using some compost from another dead house plant that I throw out 6 months ago. However ive found little yellow eggs, the size of pepper corns in the compost from the dead plant. They are semi-translucent and can be crushed quite easily, where its quite gooey and small white particles are inside.

Im worried that i will have some kind of bug infestation in my apartment if I use this soil. Does anyone know what this could be?

Yes, I'd agree, slow release fertilzer like 'Osmacote', so dont worry, they are not any form of bug, most people think they are snails eggs.
