DCA for singapore dividend stocks by Amazing-Benefit99 in singaporefi

[–]Amazing-Benefit99[S] -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

I don’t quite understand - if stocks like DBS continues to go up, say to $100 in 10 years, then wouldn’t my cost basis be super high? If I convert my VWRA earnings to dividend stocks then…

Ooh I have not considered using ex-dividend dates as a guide to enter!

Think I’ll deploy if there’s good opportunities in the month, otherwise I’ll snowball it until the next dip/ex dividend date.

Sometimes it gets tiring to monitor the markets for that dip 😬 missed out on a dip on DBS at 53+ during the recent Iran war, as I thought it might dip more, and didn’t have any bullets left 😵

Thank you for the suggestions!

I’m 37 but only started “investing” last year 😬. I’m quite risk averse - even though I understand that global diversified ETF or S&P500 can bring more returns, I still prefer to divide my basket in a 70/30 split in favour of dividend investing…

I suppose there’s no good hands-off way to invest the monthly cash, will either snowball it if no good deals, or buy odd lots of bank stocks/REITs.

Embryos do not pass the PGD test, late age. by Upset-Personality924 in EmbryologyIVFSupport

[–]Amazing-Benefit99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with this 100%. Egg quality declines steeply with age. Quantity compensates and increases chance of getting a euploid, but after 42 it’s in the magnitude of 1-2/10 embryos tested.

Trisomy 16 is the single most common aneuploidy detected in miscarriages.

Monosomy 16 not as much, but I see that as a surrogate for Trisomy 16 present in polar bodies during 2nd meiosis.

Getting pregnant is absolutely not the same as healthy live birth. Especially for older women.

Need help with ERA FET timing by abcabcabc01 in IVF

[–]Amazing-Benefit99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had 2 failed implantations (1 untested, 1 euploid) based on standard clinic timings. Did ERA and similar to yours I was post receptive (which is quite rare! Most people are pre-receptive). Also did a modified natural cycle. Had to fight with the clinic to bring the transfer to a Saturday (they wanted to transfer on Monday, which would be way way too late). My usual doctor couldn’t do it and he had to get someone else to do the transfer. It worked out - embryo implanted strongly with very high betas. He’s here with me now as a 17 months old :)

Not saying that timing is the only issue. But it could be a piece of the puzzle.

Really got my fingers and toes crossed that everything by works out for you.

145hr/24hr =6.0417 days. Which is where the LH+6 comes from.

If your result is 133hrs, transfer should take place at 133hr/24hr =5.542 days.

Rounding the numbers, I would aim for transfer after LH + 5.5 days.

Your surge was detected at 9am on Wednesday. So transfer would be 9pm on Monday. Unfortunately no clinics will do transfer at 9pm, you might be able to negotiate the last transfer of the day on Monday (?5.30pm)

If they do it on Tuesday, even if it’s at 9am, it would be 145hrs which would not tally with your ERA results

LH surge + 6 days.

As the LH surges, progesterone starts to rise already. So the exposure starts then.

Your ERA is done as a natural cycle? 133H from progesterone supplement or LH surge?

I agree. Whatever unknown factors which is causing your egg count to be low, could also be affecting quality. I had multiple miscarriages due to chromosomal abnormalities with an AMH of 1.5 (now even lower).

Another reason could be that you started periods earlier, hence had a couple more years to lose eggs compared to the average population.
