good luck for tomorrow and monday. if I were you, I would absolutely go ahead with this cycle and do the egg pick up because as you said, you may only continue to get similar egg numbers in future cycles. I also have low ovarian reserve and we gave up the idea of pgd affter realising that we simple won't get the egg numbers to do this. We did pgd once, and have an affected frozen embryo, which we plan to transfer in the near future (husband has a cancer syndrome, but is adult onset and can be quiet manageable and possibly avoidable with the right management). I emphathise with you because i know that PGD does limit/can limit opportunities for having a good embyro to transfer. But if you have decided to have it, then only having 3 eggs this time is no reason to cancel the cycle - you have to take every opportunity you can. Just something extra - are you fully informed regarding the status of affected embryos at your clinic (ie, the ethics committee afflicated with each clinic has different rules regarding the potential later use of affected embies). While this hopefully never becomes an issue it is really important to know just in case you are ever faced with the eventuality that the only embryo you have is affected. I don't know about the genetics of MD and whether it's a dominate gene, but in our case the gene was a dominate one so each embie has a 50% chance.
