I understand the comment about the cycle.  I stopped my cycle 5 years ago, now it feels like I am having my period every day. My cyst was discovered 2 weeks ago, now the pain is increasing tremendously.  I would rather have my menstruation back instead of this!  Just hang in there.  I have suffered from endometriosis as well.  If you are having your period, sometimes these things remedy themselves, however it is always better to get more than one opinion and to learn information. When we educate ourselves with information, we are better able to make the best decisions. I live on an island where we have two doctors- one who waits for many patients until everything is "TOO LATE!" and the other who leaves the hospital in the middle of an exam to go fishing.  I will soon be going off island to get a second opinion and hopefully a remedy to the pain I am having.

Free fluid is just what as it sounds - fluid that is free in the abdomen and not contained inside a cyst, mass, or other tissue.

Normally there is a small amount of fluid in the abdomen, but some conditions can cause an increase in this normally small amount.  The conditions that increase free fluid amounts in a woman include the normal  monthly cycle process of cyst rupture and resolution.  Endometriosis can also increase free fluid amounts.

Your doctor really needs to do further studies.  If the pain you feel is associated with the middle of your monthly cycle, then it is likely middlesmertz - probably spelled wrongly -  the pain caused by the rupture (opening) of the cyst from the ovary.  NOTE: in this particular case, I am referring to the normal cyst produced by an ovary which contains the ova (egg) that could possible create a child in the proper circumstances.  Some women suffer from pain from this perfectly  normal  ovarian process, while other women are rarely, if ever, aware this process even takes place!

Pain might also be associated with a cyst or multiple cysts that have not resolved normally, and thus have grown large before rupture.   This type of condition is not normal, but still this does not necessarily mean there is a serious condition to worry about.   This condition also increases the amount of free fluid in the abdomen.

Pain associated with the onset of menses (the start of your monthly cycle, i.e, when you start your 'period') might be related to PMS or to endometriosis.  

That the doctor could not see the other ovary could be due to many things.  The ovary could be pushed back towards other tissues in the abdomen, which blocked the view.  It is also possible that the ovary does not exist.  Without further imaging or testing, it is difficult to say what the situation is.  

While I agree you need to have another exam, there is nothing that you have written that indicates to me that you have a serious issue that should frighten you.   And if the doctor who treated you previously is not attentive to your complaints, then perhaps you should attempt to find another doctor who can and will better explain things to you.

Best Wishes.
