oops it deleted my quote I tried to paste, i guess i used html incorrectly. let me try again:
Many women go for a routine ultrasound or pelvic examination early in their pregnancy and come away with the surprise finding of an ovarian cyst. Usually, this cyst comes from the corpus luteum. After an egg is released from the ovary, the corpus luteum is responsible for making the hormone progesterone. It is this hormone that prepares the uterus for pregnancy.
A typical corpus luteum is round and fluid-filled and can range in size from less than two centimeters (about an inch) to six centimeters or more. On ultrasound, a fluid-filled (cystic) structure greater than three centimeters is technically classified as an ovarian cyst, even though it may well represent a normal finding.
Ovarian cysts usually don't cause any symptoms. In fact, corpus luteum cysts appear toward the end of the menstrual cycle, last into early pregnancy, and then usually resolve over a period of time without any special treatment.
why do you correlate the two together? are you trying to conceive?

however, your pain could be of numerous possible origins, too many to try and count. I only gave the above information to you since that is what you suspect, but dont get tunnel vision and think that is the only possible cause. Go to your doctor if it does not get better, or if it becomes worse (go soon if that happens). good luck to you
