I just found out almost the exact same thing, however, my OBGYN is not taking it lightly.  She has sent me for 2 ultrasounds so far, I get the second set of results tomorrow.  I believe that with the symptoms that you are experiencing, you should at least be seen for an ultrasound.  I would take it upon myself to get a second opinion or even a new obgyn.  The pain that you are experiencing when going to the bathroom is a early warning sign of ovarian cancer.  Don't sit home for  2 months, go and see another Dr. for a second opinion.  It's your body and your health and if you are even uncomfortable with a diagnosis or the way a Dr. treats you, you should do something about it.  I hope that everything goes well, God Bless.
