UPDATE:
Ok - my doctor called about the Echo Ultra Sound I had last week.... it shows that I have cyst on both my ovaries and at the mouth of my cervix, hence the excruciating pain I have been suffering for months on end, 1 to 3 weeks at a time.
My Doctor will monitor the cyst and make sure that none of them turn cancerous (family history), and I just have to learn to live with but another form of inner body PAIN, I already have RA & Bursitis and now this - oh what joy for me.
The only resource at this time (since the cyst are not large enough to consider surgery, but large enough to cause me pain) is to try hormonal therapy (birth control pills) for 4 months and see if they go away.... but they could always return. I am personally against this for 16 years ago I was taken me off the pill for there was great concern of a tumor developing in my brain.... Big Sigh!

Ovarian Cysts:
1.) pressure or pain in the abdomen
2.) ache in the lower back and thighs
3.) problems passing urine completely
4.) pain during sexual intercourse
5.) weight gain
6.) painful menstrual periods and abnormal bleeding
7.) nausea or vomiting
8.) breast tenderness
Ovarian cysts are fluid-filled sacs that can form on the ovary when one or more of the egg-containing follicles mature, but do not release the egg into the fallopian tube...
Cysts can twist, bleed, or they can rupture. Most cysts are benign or not cancerous. However, cysts can sometimes be malignant or cancerous. For this reason, your doctor should check all cysts. If a cyst is benign and not causing problems, it may go away on its own and not require any treatment other than observation. If cysts are a recurring problem, hormonal therapy can be used to shrink an existing cyst and/or keep new cysts from forming. A doctor may also suggest removing a cyst, especially if it seems to be growing. If surgery is needed, a benign cyst can often be removed without removing the ovary.
Ovarian cystectomy refers to removal of the ovarian cyst.
An Oophorectomy is a procedure that removes the entire affected ovary.
