Ovarian cyst?

Hello. I'm looking for some advice and thought this might be a good place!

Back story. I have no history of ovarian problems, have had IVF twice, normal cycles...

In January I was due on my period but had pain that felt like ovulation pain that lasted 7 days on my right side. My period was 16 days late that cycle which was a first for me. I went to the doctors, they couldn't feel anything but sent me to A&E and checked for appendicitis which it wasn't. The pain went off after a week. That was the worst its been.

Since then I've had a stabbing pain that comes and goes around the same area, sometime a dull ache that feels like mild ovulation pain, but at random times in my cycles. I've always had ovulation pain since having IVF but this can be on day 21 or day 3! Some days I don't feel it at all, others I do. My cycles since the long one in January have been normal 28-30 day cycles. No bloating, no loss of appetite etc. I have had a few days where I've felt a bit sick too.

I went back to the doctors last month and he booked me for a scan which is on Monday but I'm so worried about what it could be! This came on completely out of the blue, never had any problems before. Does anyone think it could a cyst? I'm just thinking the worst Sad Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hope you got on OK at your scan. Did it turn out to be a cyst after all?
