Possibly: Some women will experience pain at ovulation, and some will have cramping at fertilization. Give it time, and check a pregnancy test. Take your multivitamin daily in any event.

Ovulation and pain: Sometimes when you ovulate even without fertilization there can be mid-cycle pain and cramping known as Mittelschmerz. Sometimes if it continues it can be a painful ovarian cyst which you could have diagnosed by ultrasound and physical exam. There are other causes of lower back or abdominal pain that if persistent symptoms or worsen should be evaluated by a health care provider in person.
