A sharp pain low down on one side of your tummy can sometimes happen in the middle of your cycle, but you should tell a grown-up about it so they can help keep an eye on it.
It can be ovulation, a twinge or ache on one side of your lower tummy that usually lasts a few hours, but in the first couple of years most cycles don't release an egg yet, so there's no way to be sure. Tell a grown-up straight away if it's strong, lasts more than a day, doesn't ease with the pain relief a grown-up gives you, keeps coming back, or comes with a fever or being sick.
There are medicines that help this kind of pain, and a grown-up decides if you take one, which one and how much, for your age and weight. Resting and curling up on the sofa with a warm blanket can help you feel a bit better right now while you let a parent know what you are feeling.
