Brief Answer:
not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

If all reports are normal and you have been trying for 2 years now, and if you have not yet conceived, rather than laparoscopy i would advise you to go for IVF.

Every cycle of IVF has a 35-40% success rate and IVF is indicated when infertility is of unknown cause and more than 2 years.

The laparoscopy is indicated only if we are suspecting tubal problem or endometriosis.

Was your wife having irregular cycles or ever diagnosed with PCOS?

Hope this helps.
Regards.
