Could be...: Pain in the ovary can be caused by a variety of things. One you already mentioned is very common (Ovarian Cyst) These are typically reabsorbed with no treatment over 1-2 weeks time. There can also be other causes. PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease) which is closely associated with STD's, Endometriosis, and Ovarian tumor or torsion. It would be wise to see your Dr if the pain persists or worsens

See an OB/GYN: You should be examined by a professional and get this worked out. It is probably a simple to solve issue.

Probably not: How long has it been since your last Depo-Provera shot? Stress from surgery may affect your hormonal balance, but probably just a coincidence.
