Ugh My FSH is high

in Infertility
Just got my CD3 bloodwork back and FSH is a 17.9. My AMH is normal though at 2.2. But I'm feeling like even though I may respond to the stims, my eggs will be crap. Doc says I'm doing all the right things with doing IVFw/ ICSI and comprehensive chromosome screening. Just can't help feeling like my upcoming IVF cycle is doomed.

That's terrible news, and a huge knock to the confidence, but diminished reserve is about quantity, not always quality. They cannot judge quality until an egg is under a microscope. You may not respond with a lot of eggs, but keep telling yourself-Quality over quantity.... Take lots of supplements, eat a high protein diet, lots of rest... and if you can, meditate. It all adds up. We are here to make up for the rest. GOOD LUCK and as hard as it is right now, try not to give up hope.

Yeah. This isn't good news, but really, you can't know how you will respond to drugs or about you egg quality until you try. There's a reasonable chance that your will be pleasantly surprised and now that you know, your RE will be able to better gauge drug dosage.
Oh - on TT>35 there's a woman doing IVF who is doing great, way better than average, and her RE originally thought she should consider DE because of her FSH level.
