It's very likely that your hormones are just changing levels and the pain is a direct result of that. For a year your hormones were controlled by the Pill, and all of a sudden that source of hormones is taken away.
Another reason is the possibility of menstruation/ovulation. Many women take the Pill as a means of pain-control. The hormones keep the pain at a minimum and now that they aren't there, you may be feeling yourself ovulate, which some women report as pain in the ovaries.
Nevertheless, it is still a good idea to see your doctor.
