When I had my first ultrasound, they found a cyst in my right ovary, and it was thought to be a dermoid. My doctor kept an eye on it and said that we wouldn't do anything with it until DS was born. So last week, I had another ultrasound and blood work done in order to prepare for surgery to have it removed. The results of the bloodwork came back, and one of the markers for cancer was on the higher than normal range. It's still low enough where my doctor is optimistic that it's not cancer, but now there is a greater chance of me having cancer. Because of the higher chance, my doctor does not feel comfortable removing just the cyst and will be taking my entire right ovary ... because if the cyst were to rupture and have cancerous cells in it, then it could be "really bad." My surgery is next Wednesday, and I'm trying to remain hopeful that there's no cancer and that the worst thing that will happen is that my right ovary will be removed. Thoughts and prayers would be appreciated.
Best of luck! My sister had one of her ovaries removed when she was 15 because of similar situation and everything worked out well. She's popped out two kids [under 2] with no fertility issues if that was any sort of concern for you.
Sorry to hear this. Sounds very stressful with a new baby. I hope that you feel that all of your questions have been answered. You could always get a second opinion if you want to feel more confident.

I am a lurker and joined the bump just to reply to your post. Was it the ca125 test? I had that test wth a high reading 3 years ago. It turned out I had a cantaloupe sized endometrioma. The ca125 test will also read high if you have endometriosis, which is much more common in women under 40 than ovarian cancer is. I had no idea that I had endometriosis. My doctors were also very concerned and ended up taking out my left ovary and tube. I am writing this while rocking my 7 week old baby, conceived on my second month of trying with my one remaining ovary. Sending good thoughts your way.
