Sorry to hear you have got yourself worked up.
All these symptoms you have can just be general symptoms of ovarian cysts, they are very similar to ovarian cancer.
I was diagnosed with ovarian cysts due to being bloated, getting full quickly, weeing more often and general discomfort (I looked about 5 months pregnant). After initial scan etc they found a huge cyst in one ovary and a cluster in my other ovary. Still, at this point, their only concern was ovarian cysts (with all the symptoms that sound like yours). They only considered ovarian cancer when my CA125 blood test levels were through the roof, and then when they operated they confirmed. They originally were not considering cancer as I was only 22.
So try not to worry, it could be any number of things :-) ovarian cancer is also much more common in post menopausal ladies.
If you have severe pain it could be a heamoraging ovarian cysts, at which point you need to go to A&E.
I hope you get your answers soon xx

I had a large mass on my left ovary and was no feeling unwell when I was first referred to a scan (only reffered as Dr suspected PCOS)
I did start to get a heavy feeling and was feeling run down. But no pain, no bloating.
Had surgery to remove the Ovary and mass and they discovered low levels of cancer in the ovary. I was not even suspecting it, neither were the Drs. I had no pain at all.
Not too reassuring but it shows that symptons vary in ladies and Ovarian cancer is very rare. Only a small % of masses or cysts are cancerous.
Chances are you have a large growing cyst,
try not to worry too much

If you have had the pain a long time, I doubt it is that.

Not saying it could be that, but there are so many things it could be. Try not to worry yourself too much. If the pain gets worse, might be worth calling 111 or going up a local minor injuries or even AE
