There is a high chance that it could be Appendicitis (if you haven't already had it removed). The appendix is located on your lower right side, but if there is a nerve leading from it to the left side of your body, you can feel the pain of it on that side. If the pain continues to bother you, you need to see a doctor though.
Abdominal pain is one of the most difficult to diagnose areas, even for doctors who spend years being trained to ascultate (listen to) bowel sounds, palpate (use the hands to feel), observe a patient for signs (of a condition or disease--or 'normal' conditions), and to take a thorough medical history. Therefore, first, no one can "diagnose"--except a doctor! And second, sorting out what might be wrong over the internet is like asking someone to thread a sewing needle from miles away--impossible! Anyone on the Internet who says "don't worry about it" risks being wrong.
However, every person can benefit from understanding normal anatomy - where organs are in the body -- and physiology which is normal functioning of the body. So, the left lower abdomen has skin over fat, muscles, and ligaments. These protect the organs in the abdomen, including the omental "apron" which covers the entire abdomen from pelvic area to diaphram.
On the right very low in the abdomen, right above the bone, is the appendix. On both the right and left are parts of the intestines, which also goes across the belly. The large intestines alone, if laid out on a table, is about 5 feet lonng, 3 inches in diameter. The small intestines lies curled around but "behind" the large intestines.
In both males and females, the major source of unusual symptoms comes from the large intestines. As stool moves through the small intestines, the body pulls water into the small intestines to help digest food. But in the large intestines, the body pulls water back out, shuttling it to the kidneys for processing and excretion. Pulling the water back out makes formed stool (rather than watery stool), During the digestive process in both the small and large intestines, fermentation occurs as foodstuffs are processed. This process of breaking down food creates what we call "gas". As gas passes through those 5 feet with 3-in diameter, it's got to make its way around stool. If stool completely fills the diameter, the gas can be stopped. This is especially true in the ascending and descending colon (one goes up one side; the other goes down the other side), and both "turn" direction in the body. For stool, this is like going around a curve in the road while driving a car. But in the body, stool is not like a streamlined car. Stool is lumpy and bumpy, and may have temporary difficulty going around those bends in the intestines. All the while, though, muscular movements called peristalis keep pushing stool from behind it, forcing it to move forward / downward in the intestines.
Most young people do not realize that feeling gassy or being constipated can cause severe pain. When we pass gas--or have a bowel movement-- there's almost instantaneous relief. However, gas or long times between having a BM can cause bloating. Bloating stretches the intestines, pressing against muscles and nerves. So even after we pass gas or have a BM, for a time we might feel sore, achy, "painful". For most of us, having gas is a normal, temporary event. However, some people might have IBS--Irritable Bowel Syndrome--and gas, watery stool or constipation may be severe. Other people have chronic constipation with or without gas.
For females only -- Females can have lower abdominal aches and pains for several different reasons. Females have one ovary and one Fallopian Tube on each side of the abdomen. There are numerous reasons an ovary can cause pain, some reasons not serious at all or a couple conditions that may (or may not) be serious, such as an ovarian cyst. If you have pain at ovulation or just before a period, these are likely temporary symptoms.
Also, the uterus and urinary bladder sit about midline low abdomen. The uterus can cause pain during the menstral cycle, in pregnancy (not usually in early pregnancy), and in Pelvic Inflammatory Disease. The urinary bladder can hurt when there is a Urinary Bladder Infection (UTI) or from pressure being put on the bladder-- such as from an ovarian cyst. Most cysts are benign, and resolve on their own. Other cysts may come and go, get very big and go away spontaneously--or they may keep growing and need medical intervention. Only a doctor and tests can determine what pain is from an ovary, a tube, or from the bladder. It is important for a female to see a doctor if pain continues, worsens, or lasts longer than a monthly cycle.
Lastly, the chances that early pregnancy causes low abdominal pains is about nil. However, all pain should be checked by a doctor just to rule out the most serious conditions.
NOTE: In the intestines, some foods contribute to causing gas. Determine which foods bother you and reduce or eliminate your intake of those foods.
