Do I have a Ovarian Cyst?

I've had my period for about 5 years now.  I started at 10.  I went on birth control for a year then we needed to go in to get the prescription renewed so we just decided to wait awhile. (that was a few months ago).  I usually start at the end of the month and carry over to the first few days.  This month I had the symptoms as per usual.  Nipples hurting, pimples, pms and bloating.  I had also taken a laxative a few days ago since I was so clogged up I had to get something out.  I usually get discharge before but I haven't seen any.  I masturbate on the occasion. I am kinda bloated now not sure if it's from being gassy or period. What is going on?  I have heard stuff about ovarian cysts and it's scaring me... Please help. Thanks in advanced.

"Studies have shown significant reductions in a number of common menstrual complaints in women who increased dietary magnesium consumption or were given magnesium supplements. Low levels of magnesium are also common in women who experience menstrual problems.

One of magnesium's many roles is as a muscle relaxant. This is especially important for women who suffer from menstrual cramps (dysmenorrhea) because cramps are caused by excessively strong contractions of the uterus. Magnesium helps the powerful uterine muscles relax, reducing cramping.

Magnesium's muscle-relaxing powers also help relieve the PMS or menstrual headaches many women experience.

Menstrual fatigue is another common complaint of women that magnesium can help relieve, though the exact mechanism is uncertain.

Magnesium also reduces other symptoms of PMS, including constipation, water retention and bloating, breast tenderness, and many mood problems, including depression, irritability, and anxiety."
