I'm not new to the sex world, but have been absent for awhile as my new husband and I abstained for over half of our 3+ year relationships. We've been married a whole 9 days and are back in the swing of things. Everything felt normal until we did it Saturday. I normally feel him hitting me in certain positions but Saturday, I couldn't do much more than missionary without terrible, terrible pain in my lower abdomen and right side. It was a sharp stabbing that felt like the worst side stitch ever. What's wrong with meeeeee? 
I googled it and saw something about pain during ovulation. Could this be it? Any advice on making it stop?

This!
I had this happen once. It hurt inside my abdomen when I urinated afterwards, and still hurt the next day. I was able to get in to see my OB/GYN that day. He checked it out and saw that one of my ovaries was inflamed even though I wasn't ovulating.
He said that my husband might have been thrusting at a slight angle, which effectively made him repeatedly "punch" my ovary. I was sent home with instructions to take some motrin for the pain, lay off the sex for a few days, use lots of lube and be gentle when using that position. We also scheduled a follow-up just to make sure everything was OK because there's a history of ovarian cancer in my family. Everything's been OK since then!
