Pelvic pain: If you've had your period say about 2 weeks ago, and the pain is an ache or sharp off to one side than I would suggest that your pain is actually from ovulation. I was often able to tell which ovary was ovulating due to the pain. Other possibilities would have to do with your colon/rectum with is on the L side. Pelvic pain is difficult to determine the exact cause a majority of the time.
