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.
