Breast pain: Hormone fluctuations, especially if u have pms, may be adding to your grief. It can be improved with the ocp. Check your bra tightness! the diarrhea is hard to explain! perhaps uterus and colon are interacting due to your anatomy so that there is a relationship but that is unusual. Bowel and mood/stress are possible culprits. If tired a lot prior to menses, not sleeping well, stress may involve.

Breast pain: Could be a couple things. For one, many women have breast pain or sensitivity just before their menses. In addition, breast tenderness is fairly common in early pregnancy.
