Hi there,

I see from your profile that you are only 16.  Please try not to worry.  Ovarian cysts can cause ovarian enlargement and the majority of ovarian cysts are benign.  Did you have a scan to determine if you have visible cysts?  Most cysts go away on their own.  If this persists for you, you may want to talk to you doctor about the possibility of your having an underlying condition like PCOS or endometriosis.   But, even with these conditions, the majority of women are still able to conceive.  I struggled with cysts since my teens and had my first surgery for an ovarian cyst when I was only 15.  Despite chronic cysts, I was able to have two healthy kids when I was in my thirties.  So, enjoy your life! :) Be sure to follow-up with your gynecologist to monitor the cysts.  It really doesn't sound like ovarian cancer!
