Self-operated endovaginal telemonitoring versus traditional monitoring of ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction: an RCT.

Study Question: Does self-operated endovaginal telemonitoring (SOET) of the ovarian stimulation phase in IVF/ICSI produce similar laboratory, clinical, patient reported and health-economic results as traditional monitoring (non-SOET)?

Summary Answer: SOET is not inferior to traditional monitoring (non-SOET).

What Is Known Already: Monitoring the follicular phase is needed to adapt gonadotrophin dose, detect threatening hyperstimulation and plan HCG administration. Currently, patients pay visits to care providers, entailing transportation costs and productivity loss.
