At what point should you on sleep on your left side?

I am 11 weeks today. I know at some point during pregnancy they recommend that pregnant women should only sleep on their left side. At what point is this recommended? I find myself most comfortable on my back but I don't want to keep sleeping this way if it's not recommended.

Thank You
