Flutters on left side of stomach area

I'm 36 years old and overweight. Had my tubes tied 7 years ago. I have been experiencing a flutter like movement on my lower left side. No pain is associated with this feeling. I have no symptoms of preganacy. My cycle is normal. The feeling can be felt on the inside as well as by hand on the outside. Any idea of what this flutter might be. I have been feeling this now for a month or so. Thanks in advance for any suggestions on what this might be.

Im 20, not on birth control, nor do i have my tubes tied, i'm not pretnant, i've never had a child, but i've had the same thing for as long as i can remember. I always thought it was caused by my ovary releasing an egg, because it switches drom the left side of my lower abdomen to the right, and back and forth and so on each month. i suppose it's something else now?

I am 22 years old, never been pregnant, haven't had my tubes tied, and have been on BC about 7months as well. I found this site because I've been feeling this way, and ikve been worried about it all day. Has anyone gotten t the bottom of this? It appears to be rather common... Could it be early, early stages of pregnancy?

I am 19 yrs. old and I have a 9 month old daughter. After breastfeeding, I've been gaining weight and reached over 160. About 2 months ago, I lost about 15 lbs. and am now down to 148 lbs. I had my period about 2 weeks ago & have also been drinking during weekends. I don't eat as much anymore, but I drink coffee often on a daily basis. For the past few days, I've been feeling movements in my stomach. Just last night, I was on lying on my stomach using my lap top. When I turned, I noticed a big movement as if it were kicking. I don't feel tired or sick. I just feel a bit weaker usual. I don't know if these are defects from after pregnancy or what, but what I do know is I am afraid and not ready to get pregnant again just yet. I haven't went for my postpardum appt. either so I am really confused. Pls. help me out.

What first alerted me to a dermoid ovarian cyst last year were flutters in my abdomen that I initially thought was a pregnancy. I had an ultrasound and a ct scan my md found a dermoid ovarian cyst the size of an orange on my right ovary which I ended up losing. I am now experiencing those same flutters and movements on my left side which I believe is another ovarian cyst.
