Mystery pain in side - hormonal?

Since about August last year, I've had recurrent phases of a sharp, stitch-like pain in the left "corner" of my waist. It lasts for days (sometimes more than a week) and seems to coincide with ovulation (ie the day of, and a while after). It's really quite uncomfortable, to the point of waking me up at night sometimes.

The first month it happened, it was accompanied by more generalised abdominal/bladder discomfort. Pee tests came back clear. As it persisted over a couple of cycles, I had an ultrasound scan on bladder and ovaries and they came back clear.

Other possibly relevant info: I do have mild Crohn's disease, but have no symptoms of a flare up. I'm 46 (so maybe perimenopausal?). I have the mirena coil. The first time it happened also coincided with me having taken evening primrose oil for a few weeks.

I'm not sure if it's worth pursuing this further. I've tried asking dr Google, but haven't come up with anything similar sounding.

I’ve had similar recently. Mid cycle. feels ovarian. It’s good that you’ve had a scan.
