Feeling guilty & emotional ;-(

My partner & I decided we were going to start trying for a baby.  I went to the doctors to talk about prenatal care & she asked me when my last period was. I've always skipped on the pill so I think it had been about 3 months. I had to have a pap so she suggested we did a pregnancy test just in case. I was still getting undressed for my pap when she told me the test was positive. What the??? I have POCS, I couldn't believe it, I cried for about an hour, absolute shock. Turned out I was already 6 weeks pregnant.  This is where the guilt kicks in, my gorgeous loving older sister has two little ones now but it took her years, IVF, lots of money & lots of pain to have them. I fell pregnant without even trying, I feel so bad for her & so guilty. I just can't stop crying, I'm guessing this is hormone induced ;-(
