Haven't had a scan since 8w (not due for one until 20w now)... but at my 8w, the u/s tech said that my corpus luteum cyst was on my left ovary. She said that it's normal for it to be there and it's what to blame when you're sick early on - as that's where the progesterone and other early hormonal "fun" comes from.

Just so all you women know, every single pregnant woman has one of these. They're there to sustain the pregnancy with hormones (progesterone and hcg) until the placenta starts working and then it shrinks down. Sometimes, it grows larger and can cause some pains.
