Registrars send out multiple renewal notices before and after expiration. You also have an auto-renew option. Was it enabled or did your credit card fail?
There is typically 30-45 days of grace period after expiration without paying a penalty (for ICANN gTLDs). After that, registrars change the status to RedemptionPeriod and the redemption fees are around $100 during those 30 days. If your domains expired late February, you may still have a shot at recovering some by paying the redemption fees. If they're in PendingDelete, you'll have to use a dropcatching service such as NameJet, Snapnames or Dropcatch to get back domains that have any value.
