Get it evaluated: Then call you doctor and have the pain evaluated. If doc is not immediately available and the pain is severe, go to the er.

Go to emergency room: If you don't get prompt relief from lying down with legs up and heat applied to the lower abdomen, it would be wise to seek emergency care to make sure you don't have a torsion of the ovary, ruptured ovarian cyst, or some other problem that needs urgent attention.
