Several possible causes. At your age, chief among them is still appendicitis (despite not finding it on CT); or a gynecological problem, such as Fallopian tube infection (pelvic inflammatory disease i.e. PID), ovarian cyst, endometriosis, etc. And still others. See your PCP or gyn ASAP. If you develop fever, still worse pain, or vaginal bleeding go back to the ER or urgent care. Good luck.
