Brief Answer:
Go to IVF immediately
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand you wish to conceive.
Following is my reply:
1) Laparoscopy is not required for you just for 4 mm cyst. This is likely to disappear by itself. Don't undergo laparoscopy.
2) Chances of pregnancy naturally are less at your age.
3) Please get antral follicle count done on day 2 of cycle in an IVF centre and also get AMH blood test done to check egg reserve.
4) You need to go for IVF ( Test tube baby) treatment if eggs are there in above tests. If not you need to get donor egg IVF.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
