Perhaps I'm just bloated...ADVICE

ReNate0418

Hello! I am new here to The Bump and recently on the TTC train... Anyways!! First day of last period was 06/23/12... for the past 4-5 days I have been experiencing extreme bloat, gassier then normal, every once in a while sharp cramp on my left side only, along with nausea and head aches. I am very new to this and am unsure if this could be the "implantation" phase they speak of, but I am not having any spotting. TMI, but I thought it was just constipation, but after taking a couple womens laxatives, i been going a little bit, not as much as normal though.

 Basically just want to get the opinion of you girls that have been TTC and understand the different phases and what signs to look out for during this process. My cycle is usually 25-27 days and I am on Cycle day 17, so I am not due for atleast another 9 days. 

 Thank you Bare with the newbie here

I'm not being snarky, just trying to be helpful. 

Most women on here will tell you that it is normal to have phantom symptoms, especially when you are TTC.  Some women feel it and some don't.  I know it's hard not to read into those feelings, but the only thing you can do is wait to test. GL!
