Your dr did the right tests, ultrasound is usually the best way to look at ovaries.  You were smart to consider ovarian cancer as a possible cause of your trouble, most people don't know that!  But if your ovaries are normal there could be something else causing your trouble.  Maybe Irritable Bowel Syndrome? Also, if you've had abdominal surgery (c-sections, a hysterectomy, appendectomy, etc) or if you have a history of endometriosis, you could have scar tissue or adhesions which can cause symptoms.  Unfortunately scar tissue & adhesions aren't easily seen on any scans, drs usually find them when they do surgery.

Good luck!
