It depends on where on your side it is. It could be something as simple as gas! You will have to look at an anatomy picture to determine where the pain is located and go from there.

Maybe it's mittelschmerz pain.
Mittelschmerz pain occurs during ovulation (mid-way between your cycle) and is quite common. About 1 in 5 women experience ovulation pain. According to the Mayo Clinic website, mittelschmerz pain "is a distinctive, one-sided lower abdominal pain or discomfort" and "usually lasts a few minutes to a few hours, but it may continue for as long as a day or two." The pain may be caused by the follicle stretching the ovary or may be from irritation of your peritoneum (lining of your abdomen) caused by the ruptured follicle.
"Pain from mittelschmerz may be:
* A dull ache that feels like a cramp
* Sharp, sudden pain
* Accompanied by mild vaginal bleeding or discharge
* Rarely, severe"The website listed below gives more information, and also lists when symptoms should prompt a doctor visit.
Take care,
