Will the real Aunt Flo please stand up?

I hate when AF comes early. She came Friday, and other than the bleeding, I've felt pretty great. Until today. After we came home from bowling, I had to help DH with the broken mower, and I just started getting really cranky. I went to wash my hands at the sink, and as I was leaning against the sink, it felt like when a cat sprints across the room to one end and back, like twice. (only vertical) Or like something swimming loops.  Then, I started getting a sensation like a root had been pulled, and now semi-bad to bad cramps. 

Here are some of the AF/IPS symptoms that just flared up in the last hour or two since that happened:

• no appetite AND an empty feeling.
• Slightly nauseous. Sometimes I have the feeling like I'll gag, in the back of my throat.
• A sudden spike in my sense of smell
• I opened the fridge and was thinking there is something ROTTEN in here---five minutes ago I didn't notice it then!
• Cranky/Moody
• Fatigue
• Throbbing, sore nips--not just sore to the touch, but radiating a bruised feeling.

But I've been bleeding for 2-3 days now. And, it's been more flow than usual---WTF! I really think it is from AF coming early. Because today would have been the day she started if things had been regular. Ugggggghhhh. Yuck!


And yet.....

The insane, crazy, obsessed TTCer in me (who I managed to keep mute for the first hour) sparked the idea that sudden onset of pregnancy symptoms may mean that I AM pregnant. But if I am, that would suck, because I've been bleeding WAY too much than is normal. I think if I remember that thought when the idea of it being IB hits, I might be able to find some peace instead of obsessing about the inevitable BFNs. Because as much as I want to be pregnant, I also would not want to miscarry again. I'm torn.
