Group Intervention Description Perform echo at home. Perform Echo at home. A group of women that follows an IVF treatment, will perform their echoes at home, instead of always make an appointment in the clinic.
- 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.
