Your symptoms really do sound like pregnancy ones...but could be PMS too! Did you know that dollar stores have pregnancy tests? I was at the dollar store the other day and they had them there! LOL I wonder how accurate they are, though. 
Oh, can I understand about the fear of throwing up thing....
Ever since I was tiny, I have been terrified of throwing up. It is one of my worst fears. My poor husband thinks I'm crazy, but he is so sweet about it. He is very respectful and does whatever he can to help me through if I have a stomach virus. (Thank God only 2 times since we've been married! Hopefully never again!)
I am 12 weeks pregnant right now...the morning sickness is different for everyone, but I must say that having IBS is an advantage. Foods that can aggrevate nausea are no-no's for IBS anyways, so we have a leg up already. And many of us are pros at managing nausea with our mints and ginger! LOL
My 1st pregnancy was not too bad - about 5 weeks of feeling icky. No vomiting, just nausea. Same thing with this pregnancy. I have had about 6 weeks of nausea - again, no vomiting. Mints, altoids, water, soda crackers, applesauce, popsicles have been helpful.
Everyone is different - some lucky ladies have none, some have a really bad time. But, the good thing is that if it does get really bad, they have medicine you can take to help you. No one needs to suffer through horrible vomiting.
If you are pregnant, get ready for a wonderful, amazing, incredible adventure! If you aren't....don't sweat it. You'll be able to handle it when it happens. Just find a great OB who is compassionate and listens.
I am excited to hear your news when you know one way or the other! Let us know!
