Hi Mirrie,

I didn't have a laparoscopy. Like your dr, I don't think mine believed in doing them. Her reasoning was that they might find I had blocked tubes or similar problems which would necessitate IVF, so it was better to just go ahead with IVF regardless.

After our first failed cycle, I had an ultrasound to check my tubes at my request and one was found to be blocked. It didn't change our plan, just meant I had some idea of what was making it difficult to conceive.

Good luck.
