Went for my 20 wk pregnancy ultrasound n the sonographer finds an ovarian cyst on my right ovary, it's so small not even an inch, should i worry?

Likely normal : Anything under 2.5 cm (1inch) is technically not even a cyst. It would be considered a normal ovarian follicle.

Probably not: It sounds like you have a follicle in the ovary. This is a normal finding for a woman of your age as long as it can be characterized as "simple".
