Role of Laparoscopy in Unexplained Infertility

Role of Laparoscopy in Unexplained Infertility

In this randomized controlled trial the investigators were looking for the best policy for management of women with unexplained infertility after normal hysterosalpingogram (HSG). The investigators test the hypothesis that postponing or even bypassing laparoscopy does not affect the outcome of management of women with apparently unexplained infertility.

Inclusion Criteria:

• failure of conception for at least one year
• no pathology demonstrated after the standard infertility work-up including semen analysis, mid-luteal serum progesterone for confirming ovulation and hysterosalpingography for documenting tubal patency
• diagnosed as having unexplained infertility
