Pelvic pain?

Christina
Question ladies... I have been having frequent pain in the left side of my pelvis for a while now. It comes and goes and sometimes it hurts incredibly bad and sometimes it just feels like a dull ache. I haven't been able to figure out any pattern as to when or how often it occurs. It's random. I told my GP about it and she said it was most likely pain to due to ovulation and that I shouldn't worry, I was probably feeling it now because I'm off birth control. My mom thinks I should talk to my gyno and see if it's something like a cyst since my aunts and cousin have had them. Should I head to my gyno or do you think my mom is worrying too much? (she tends to always think the worst which is why I'm skeptical). Also if you have experienced something similar it would help if you could share the outcome. Thanks.
