I had my appendix out when I was 17. I was throwing up for a few days before I was taken to the ER. It had actually ruptured and I had a mild (luckily) case of peritonitis. I was pretty much laid up for 3 months till the infection cleared and they could go in and take the appendix out. Watching an open abdominal incision heal slowly was kind of interesting.
I was insistent on not going to the doctors because I was certain it was just a stomach bug.
The area/pain you describe could be an ovarian cyst as easily as it could be your appendix. Only way to know for sure is to see a doctor.
