If you have pains on the lower right side of your stomach (where your appendix is) is there a bigger possibility of your period coming or your appendix? It hurts a little to bend my right leg all the way, and one day it was hurting really bad and the next three days it was mild pain so please let me know!
thanx

If you have a fever or the pain lasts longer then your period then see a doc. Also if you push on (or someone else) your belly and it hurts less when you push down and more when you quickly take your hand away then that also is a bad sign and you would need to goto the ED.

As a healthcare provider I can tell you that when people come to see me with right lower abdominal pain there are several tests I do. It includes Xrays and blood tests. And a good health history and physical. An appendix can be tricky, I've seen some where there was very few signs but still turned out to be appendicitis. So the moral to the story is that you need to be seen and evaluated to be sure.

If it is your appendix, you could become very ill and die if it has ruptured. Get to the doctor and have it checked.
If you are ovulating it will cause some pain, but not severe.

It could be cystic ovaries, your appendix or a number of other things. I'd see a doctor. If it's your appendix, you don't want to mess around.

There really is no good way to tell. Call your doctor. It may be pains from ovulating but as I said it cannot be determined without a proper exam.
