Hi, I have gone through your question. It is usually not possible to diagnose pregnancy at 17 th day of the menstrual cycle. Moreover, it is not possible to feel symptoms of pregnancy, even if the conception has occurred, so early in menstrual cycle.
The bloating or pain below the rib cage could be due to any other medical condition like gaseous distension due to gastric acidity.
I would suggest you to consult a physician and get properly examined, investigated and treated accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
