Question about ovarian cysts - I'm freaking out...?

I have had on and off dull aching in my left side where my ovary is for the past 5 years or so. It has seemed to come and go ever few months. I had dealt with it for about 4 years and just assumed it was an ovarian cyst. I got married and got pregnant on the very first try. I had a beautiful baby boy 1 year ago. Now the cyst is back, I have a baby now, and my mind is getting away from me and driving me crazy. I keep thinking I have ovarian cancer. I had a c-section and wanted to ask if the delivering doctor inspect your ovaries while they have you opened up? My OBGYN said that he did and everything looked fine....but my mind keeps getting carried away. If it really was cancer, wouldn't I have gotten very sick by now...after 5 years of having this off and on dull ache? I always resigned myself to the fact that it was a cyst but now I'm scared and my mind is getting away from me.

I'm going in for a check up in a week, but I'm going crazy thinking about this. What do you think?

It could be a recurring cyst or it could be endometriosis. Both have similar symptoms in terms of pain. Tell your doctor your fears and she can examine everything.
I've had very similar pain on my right side for 3 years now and my doctor says it's endometriosis. Just talk to your doctor and she can give you the best information.
Best of luck
