Laparoscopy or direct IVF
Hi, my HSG report says left tube fimbrial block & mildly dilated, right tube patent. We have tried 2 cycles of clomiphene & 1 cycle of IUI with injections but it failed. I have PCOD but periods are regular, egg are forming& rupturing, weight normal, hormone profile, husband report everything's fine. Now one of my doc suggested laparoscopy(I dnt have fibroid/cyst) & other doc was more inclined towards directly going for IVF. My age is 34 & we've been trying for 10 months. Now I'm confused should i go for laparoscopy? Can fimbrial block be opened? Pls suggest!

You need to go only for IVF provided that you need to clipboard tubes before IVF because the fluid can affect your success rate in pregnancy

Laparoscopy and Hysteroscopy should be done before going for ivf. This will help looking at the other factors.

Yes better to undergo laparoscopy - though it may not help in opening the fimbrial block but it helps in looking for other factors that might have per se lead to fimbrial block and infertility . Following that you can decide about IVF .

Yes the blocked tube could be given a try .
Also laproscopy is just done to look for any other issue that might be hampering your process of pregnancy.
You could undergo that , and before ivf laproscopy is usually done to rule out things .
