Mold from Sandy and IVF?

My mom and dad have a beach house in Ortley Beach NJ.  They refer to it as Hurricane Sandy Ground Zero.  The water was over 4 feet deep in the house.  They were not allowed in the house for almost 3 weeks because it was deemed too dangerous for the town but Friday they were allowed in.  Thank God the PA State Troopers were there and threw out everything for them.  They were only allowed to bring home whatever they could carry on their laps.  She saved her comforters and beach towels (she had me wash them because they were too gross for her washer - she cracks me up!)  She also refused to throw out an entire closet full of baby stuff that she bought when I had my second iui - she is super excited.  She hid it at the shore so I would not find it at her house and think she was jinxing me.  We do not know if we can clean it or not.  Would you try?  I would think that baby stuff is meant to take a beating and if I could get the crud out of the comforters I can probably clean the baby stuff.  But she is worried that now that I have started Lupron that it might not be safe for me to be near the mold or go into the house to help clean up.  We are allowed in on Sunday again for a few hours and I want to go help.  She is worried about the mold and the lifting.  I think it is fine because I am only on Lupron right now.  Like when I am closer to the er and et I will stay away.  But I love the house and I want to try to help.  What would you do?

Re: Mold from Sandy and IVF?

  • That's a hard one, my house was taken out by Sandy as well. There's nothing I want to do more than to go and help, but I don't want to chance anything right now.  And you also don't want to be too stressed out.  Seeing it all is definitely stressful and emotional.  Sorry to hear about your family's home :(

  • I remember you posting about your parents house.  I'm sorry for all the devastation.  I think you would be okay to go help out a little bit but just don't over due it.  Lupron is just suppressing anyway.  Once you start stims though I would probably stay away.

  • I agree.... once you start the other meds i woudl stay away.  An ddont over due it.... stress si a big factor when it comes to getting prego.
  • Cool.  I am going.  I think that I need to see it to understand.  The house has been in my family for 60+ years.  I had my first date there, I fell in love with dh there (when he made a comment about loving it there) and we got engaged on the boardwalk and came back there to celebrate with my family.  So I need to be able to say goodbye in case it is demolished.  No worries, my mom won't let me do anything that is in the least bit dangerous.  She is super excited about the possiblity of us having a baby.
