I personally would want the lap for myself. Do you know have known diagnosed problems affecting fertility or do you fall in the unexplained category? Working in theatre with FS's and learning a little along the way as well as having an interest in fertility treatments due to my own past bad luck I feel a laparoscopy is really a baseline for infertility investigations even if there are other known problems. A bad tube for example can prevent implantation or cause a miscarriage which cannot necessarily be picked up any other way except a lap.
No known issues, "unexplained" at the moment. My FS said I most likely have endo. No symptoms, just based on probability. I didn't want the lap when I first started seeing her though, so I asked if we could go straight to IVF, and she said this is fine because endo shouldn't prevent IVF from working.
