Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Higher efficacy by taking an echo at home.	Every 2 days, up to a year.	During an IVF treatment, women are asked to perform the echo themselves, at home. This should create higher efficacy: patients are less stressed and can choose the moment of taking the echo themselves. Furthermore, this should result in a more cost effective and time saving way.
