Doctor: Hi, If everything is normal, its better to go for two cycles of IUI with inj. HMG & then laparoscopy if you don't conceive. Laparoscopy is invasive operation & you can avoid it if you conceive with IUI. If you don't conceive in 2-3 cycles, then you can go for laparoscopy. Wish you good health.
