When a cycle ends in a bfn (big fat negative) it is referred to as "failing" "failed." I don't like that word fail....Never have and never will. I tried and it didn't work. Doesn't that sound better? Maybe it's the emotional attachment to the word that is placed in us long before we remember. Maybe I had a teacher who used it so much to mean a very negative thing that the sound of that word stirs up that emotion. When you are trying for a baby the last thing you want is a bfn or to hear "fail." I wish there were cushiony (that's not a word I know) words to help ease the fall and the emotion of realizing it didn't work this month. I can tell you this that when I do have kids the fail word is going to not be permitted in the house or at the dinner table.
Fail
Infertility
Words that together stir up a double round of negative, sad, and sometimes anger emotions....
