weird tummy pains - please tell me I'm not imagining it

I hate bothering my GP with what I feel are non-problems, so please help me out here. Anyone had something similar or what do you think about this?

It all came to light when I had my 1st period after an erpc. I had abdominal pains, sometimes down the RHS, moving across my middle but extremely sharp and debilitating just to the lower right of my navel as I was urinating, oddly enough. I was worried I was really constipated or something, so I even took a gelatin pessary to rule that out As the bleeding subsided, so did the pains. I now just have discomfort in that area which tends to get worse if I'm a bit windy.

Thinking about it, I've actually had this discomfort for a while, even perhaps since my emcs 2 years ago - but never pains like I had this last period. At one point I was worried I might be having bowel pain and asked for a coeliac test which came back negative. I may be imagining this, but my belly button (which was a bit wonky to the RHS after my emcs) seems to have migrated even more to one side. I just have this sensation of a lump in my RH abdomen which gets aggravated by other swellings in the area, but I can't feel one, nor pinpoint the source of the pain.

Worth going to see the GP or will he laugh at me and call me a raving hypochondriac?
