...i'm not saying this is what you're experiencing but just throwing it out there. It's a great time to be making a baby if that's the case.

What you're describing is called
Mittelschmerz, literally "middle pain."
Additionally, the ovaries are held in place by a couple of different ligaments, the
ovarian ligament and
suspensory ligament of the ovary. Tearing these can cause pain, but what typically tears these ligaments are serious things like problems during childbirth, inappropriately performed abortion, previous violent sexual intercourse, or rape.
There is a pretty good rundown of causes of pain during sex here:
