Medication Question

Hey everyone. 

 My mind is drawing a blank, and I can't remember what the procedure is called... but for the step right before IVF... Where you take all the meds to drop a bunch of eggs, and then you do the regular IUI.  Has anyone here done that?  If so, what are all the meds called that you took during the process.  I want to call my insurance and see if they cover the meds, if they do, I am going to do that next cycle instead of the regular IUI since we haven't had any luck.

 Hope someone can help me.

Thank you!!

    A medicated IUI?  There's all sorts of drugs they may use ... follistim, gonal f, menopur, ovidrel for trigger, bravelle, repronox. 

    Sorry I'm not much help ... I only did IVF!

    I would just call them injectable fertility meds.  FSH = follicle-stimulating hormone...  or gonadotropins (sp?)?
