Thoughts on getting a pet to help cope with infertility?

Question

My husband and I have been trying for almost two year for #2. Please share your stories if you got a pet while ttc!

Answer

This is how I ended up with two dogs 😂 no babies over here just yet but all in due timing

Answer

We got our dog right after my dad died. We weren’t dealing with infertility yet, but she’s been a huge comfort through almost 3 years of infertility.
If you both agree on bringing a new pet home, I think it’s a wonderful idea!!

Answer

Yes definitely I got my dog before we even started trying and she honestly helps so much when I’m feeling frustrated about my period or just struggling with trying it helps to just have that distraction

Answer

If you are ready for everything a pet comes along with the same as a baby, go for it! I did this on a whim and I didn’t realize I was so depressed I couldn’t take care of them properly at the time. Just know you have to commit to a pet the same way you would a child :) good luck!!

Answer

We have a bunch of cats but not on purpose 🤣.

Answer

We got a cat. We wanted one anyway, just decided to stop waiting. It is nice.
