Trouble TTC

Day 18 Cramps

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
