Hi all - I am new here and desperate for some hope! Each month I begin feeling cramps around day 18 all the way up to my period. The start of these cramps is how I know that I am not pregnant. I have the same feeling every month. My husband always asks "how can you know so soon it didn't work?" but I just do by this feeling.
Just had IUI#1. Feeling the cramps already. Very heartbroken, yet trying to somehow remain hopeful?! My biggest questions is WHAT ARE THESE CRAMPS????
Any help much appreciated

This happens to me sometimes, I actually had cramping (and still have cramps today) from ovulation day till AF appears. I am monitored by RE and have no cysts. The cramps for me are only during medicated cycles/IUI, your cramps could be from IUI as wel
