Hormones: It sounds as if you hormones are a little imbalanced. It's not necessarily a cyst. If you are worried about a cyst, however, you might want to see your doctor and have an ultrasound in case there's something there. If you're worried you could be pregnant, then take a home pregnancy test. They are fast and accurate. Good luck.
