Fsh/amh levels back and feel so low

I'm just putting it here as frankly could do with some virtual hugs! Got my blood levels back and went into a Google black hole. I know I should wait for my consultants appt but I'm 31 with fsh of 15.8 and amh of 2.7. My ultrasound only shows 3 follicles!
Have spiralled a bit knowing this means we are going to have a long slog at having a baby and potentially have to look at alternative if my eggs are low in quality.
I can't focus on work and just feel so low. It feels like all this time ttc and the stress of it just was a waste when my body is just producing duds.

What AMH is not:
A predictor of whether a woman can get pregnant spontaneously in the future.
The only true test of whether a woman is able to conceive, regardless of her AMH values, is for her to get pregnant on her own. A large cohort study demonstrated that there was NO difference in pregnancy rates in women with normal AMH values trying to conceive versus women with low AMH levels (less than 1 ng/mL) trying to conceive.
If you check your AMH today and get a low number that does not mean you can’t get pregnant tomorrow or in 3 months if you were to try on your own.
Also according to that site, 2.7 is considered normal? I read that as a general guideline, the lower limit of AMH is 2.5 ng/mL when you're 30. Everything below 1.6 is low, below 0.4 severly low.
