Hi Lorraine,
It is possible it was pain with ovulation which is called
mittleschmertz. The fluid that is in the follicle is irritating to the
pelvic cavity and can cause pain. I have had this problem ever since
the first time I ovulated.
It is very painful, and I have been concerned more than once that it
could be appendicitis because it is always on my right side and it is
very tender if it is palpated.
If the problem gets worse check back with your doctor.
Best wishes,
