Maybe Nothing: it is common to have some variation in 20 to 30% of your menstrual cycles. So, first of all do not stress. Stress, weight change, travel can change your cycle. If the pain is significant, please see a doctor to make sure you do not have a pelvic infection or a cyst or anything else. The presence of fever is indicative of infection. Good Luck!
