Michele, oh, that's awful! I'm so sorry, honey. I would definitely talk to the doctor about increasing the Zoloft. You don't want to get pregnant when you're already in pain! One thing at a time. Get yourself healthy and happy, then go for it! I know you're doing everything right and it's so not fair that you're in so much pain.
Do you keep a pain diary? If you rate your pain on a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst, where are you today? Where were you yesterday? What's the worst you've ever felt, IBS or otherwise? Try tracking the pain rating, the weather, what you eat, where you are in your cycle, and your mood or stress level. Then read back over it every few days to see if you can spot a pattern of any sort.
The only other thing I can suggest is from an article on pain and breaking the pain cycle that I just read. You'll think it's silly, but it said that when all else fails, distract yourself. Play computer games, watch TV, read a trashy novel, whatever. Just distracting yourself like that was shown in a study to actually help the overall pain experience. (I have a 98% winning rate in Freecell!!)
Feel better hon.
