Usually benign: Many women will have a corpus luteum cyst which forms on the ovary from which the egg came. They can be painful but usually resolve on their own, so I would agree with your OBGYN Dr, & not worry unless pain worsens or bleeding or fever occur.

Check sono findings: The management of an ovarian lesion during the 1st trimester of pregnancy will not just involve relief of symptoms; it mostly depends on the sonographic findings (size, echogenicity, cystic contents, wall thickness, blood flow patterns...)If you have a truly cystic lesion, with thin walls, filled with clear fluid, measuring less than 5 or 6 cm...it is probably benign and will resolve spontaneously
