Anyone else feel guilty??

Question

My hubby and I have only just started trying to have babies in November. And each month I’ve been disappointed that it isn’t my month. I’m pretty sure this month isn’t either, today I have my usual preperiod headache. 
I have friends that have been trying much longer and I feel guilty when I’m disappointed that it didn’t happen each month when I know they’ve been in this boat much longer. Anyone else out there feel it too?

Answer

Don't feel guilty for experiencing pain just because others are too. My pain from needing one shot is no less real/valid just because someone else needs 3. If anything, it's a beautiful chance at empathy and connection with those friends because you're getting a (painful) glimpse of what they've been feeling. I have felt oddly connected to my friend's 2 year-old who's struggling with food allergies and throwing up most things while I've been dealing with first trimester morning sickness. It's a struggle to get her to try stuff they know is safe because she's so afraid of vomiting--I totally get it now! Both of our pain is valid but different.
