Feeling Upset (children mentioned)

Hi y’all. It has been a while since I’ve posted. I have stage 4 endometriosis but have been blessed with 2 babies through multiple surgeries, medications, IUIs. My sister just announced her pregnancy (2nd) after 2 months of trying and I’m just struggling to be supportive and mean it. Like I can tell her congrats and I’m happy for her, because I am, but I’m having a hard time convincing my heart not to feel really heavy, as it is always a gut punch when she goes on and on about how easy it is for her to get pregnant. She also makes insensitive comments as well as her husband and I am just really struggling. I don’t really feel like I can talk to her about it because she is the personality type to take everything very sensitive and personal and she will just call me a bitch and not speak to me for weeks. Any advice on how I can cope on my own? I do see a therapist, that I’ve seen all through our infertility journey. Highs and lows. I just feel so conflicted because I feel like an awful person for not being more genuinely happy for her but also know my feelings are valid. It is hard to not drown in a cycle of “why me” when it hits you in the face every day.

    Also to add it feels really unfair that I work so hard to stay in shape and keep my body in good condition to hopefully carry a healthy pregnancy, but she is severely overweight, drinks heavily (as does her husband) never exercises or anything and she seems to get pregnant at the drop of a hat. I’m jealous of that. And I’m not ashamed to admit that.
