Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Higher efficacy by taking an echo at home.	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.	Every 2 days, up to a year.
