How to navigate family dynamics when fertility journeys diverge

My sister and I both struggled with fertility and now she's pregnant after IVF while I'm still trying, and our whole family keeps asking me how I'm 'handling' her pregnancy like I'm supposed to be devastated, but really I just want to be happy for her without everyone watching my reaction.
