TTA Marquette Mira Postpartum

Can someone explain to me the Marquette method with the Mira monitor? I'm meeting with my instructor but was just curious. Isn't it basically you abstain for days more then 100 on e3g and any LH over 15? I’m postpartum and just trying to understand more before my meeting.

Old friend wanted to charge me to ask her questions about wedding photography

Hey guys thought I’d share an infuriating interaction I had. I started doing wedding photography about a year ago and it’s kinda been taking off for me. I enjoy what I do and the clients are coming at a good rate.

Last year when I started however I was unsure where to even start. So I reached out to an old college friend who did wedding photography. Now she did maybeeeee like 2 weddings total so I emailed her just asking how she got those gigs to start out. One newb to another.

Her response essentially was “let’s meet sometime and I can go over consulting packages”

Dawg what the hell? You’ve shot two weddings…I’m not gonna pay you?

Anyway yea that pissed me off.

Scrupulous Mother won’t get help.

I’ll keep this short.

I need guidance. My mother is an insanely scrupulous person who won’t ever back down from anything. She will always go to the extreme of the most conservative view and has ruined every relationship I have known she has. Her family doesn’t talk to her and over the years all her friends have dropped her because of her insane views. I mean just an example is how she forced me (a guy) as a kid to not speak or interact with women until I was 18. She also thinks video games, TV, Harry Potter, any piece of media which says “OMG”, Pokémon…as evil. to be honest anything we enjoyed as a kid she would find a reason to connect it to satanism….i could go on for hours but the truth is she lives in a constant state of fear. She believes her beliefs are backed by god because she prays about it and has never and will never change her mind. Me and my siblings (all adults) are all very hurt by this and are very concerned and it only seems to get worse every year. She’s started to even say things that point to schismatic views.

We are at a loss for what to do. We have tried talking to her one on one but she ends up breaking down crying any time you tell her anything. My dad doesn’t help either since he has given up entirely on confronting her on anything. We are all so concerned. It’s as if my mom is being washed away by a fanatic who can’t talk about anything other than God. I’m not kidding she can’t speak about anything else.

Please, I beg of you…any advice…I’m loosing my mother here and it’s so painful to watch. I already feel like she’s gone. My siblings are all telling me she’s a lost cause and to give up. I don’t think I can do that. Seeing her live like this is hell.
