Curtsey of Wikipedia :
An ovarian cyst is any collection of fluid, surrounded by a very thin wall, within an ovary. Any ovarian follicle that is larger than about two centimeters is termed an ovarian cyst. An ovarian cyst can be as small as a pea, or larger than a cantaloupe.
Symptoms
Some or all of the following symptoms may be present, though it is possible not to experience any symptoms:
· Dull aching, or severe, sudden, and sharp pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen (one or both sides), pelvis, vagina, lower back, or thighs; pain may be constant or intermittent -- this is the most common symptom
· Fullness, heaviness, pressure, swelling, or bloating in the abdomen
· Breast tenderness
· Pain during or shortly after beginning or end of menstrual period.
· Irregular periods, or abnormal uterine bleeding or spotting
· Change in frequency or ease of urination (such as inability to fully empty the bladder), or difficulty with bowel movements due to pressure on adjacent pelvic anatomy
· Weight gain
· Nausea or vomiting
· Fatigue
· Infertility
· Increased level of hair growth
Increased facial hair or body hair
Pregnacy on the other hand has tenderness of the breast, morning sickness [ or just throwing up anytime of the day] and usually you have a missed period.
Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

Hey there,
As Chelsey said, the only way that you can know is if you take a pregnancy test. If the result is negative and you are experiencing symptoms, definitely check in with a doctor. In fact, you should set up an appointment either way.
Take care.

in a long time,
I can say that I wanna try.
I feel helpless for the most part,
but I'm learning to open my eyes.
And the sad truth of the matter is,
I'll never get over it,
but I'm gonna try
to get better and overcome each moment
in my own way"

I agree with the above noters, take a test and find out for sure and then go from there
