It has been almost a whole month since my second donation. I felt a little funny in my right ovary around ovulation time (just before and during spinnbarkheit). almost crampy. It seems like the sensations were ovulation sensations, and they were more intense because of the healing process, or maybe that was just some healing stuff going on. or something.

i finally heard back about the reimbursements. they need prescription labels for the zovia pills i bought. when i sent in the form, I included the receipts from the store, the information booklet, and a printout from my credit card with the same info. but that wasn't enough. they sent my case coordinator a message that i needed to further prove that i bought those items by going to the pharmacy and getting a printout of the labels. So i went to the pharmacy and got the informational booklet printed out again, and a form that showed the medication and the fertility doctor's name and all that. hopefully that will be enough. the pharmacist said she couldn't print up the labels for the first purchase because it was made at a pharmacy in los angeles. if i have to go to los angeles to get a reprint of the zovia labels to prove to them i bought the zovia, i'm going to make them pay for the gas.

another thing that made me upset about the reimbursements: they say they're only going to cover $100 for the car rental. My car rental bill came out to $112 after taxes and everything. and then i had to put gas in the tank to even get up to los angeles, because they gave me the car rental with an empty tank (naturally) so i paid about $40 for gas. the agency says they cap their reimbursements for car rental at $100 and they cannot reimburse above that, and i'm wondering, who the hell can get a car rental to go 240 miles for under $100 after taxes and insurance AND gas?? thats not at all reasonable. so i'm going through a slow moving bureaucratic process to get properly reimbursed for the damn rental car. i just called around to several rental car places in my area to get quotes to send to the agency. i'll keep you updated.
