Don't get too worried yet. I was 42, pregnant (oops!) and during the 9-10 week ultrasound a complex cyst was discovered. I had a CA-125 test that came back at 70 -- but it can be elevated due to pregnancy. After weekly ultrasounds, the cyst (5cm as I recall) had not changed, so we decided to have laproscopic surgery at 17 weeks. The R ovary and tube was removed -- and I had a perfectly healthy baby boy 5 months later. The pathology on the ovary was abnormal cell growth - but not even stage 1 cancer. I have had 2 years of semiannual blood tests and all have been good, until this one -- slightly elevated, so back to the monitoring stage. But I'm not overly concerned yet....
I also took a couple cycles of clomid about 4 years earlier -- and I wonder if there is some correlation.
