hopejoy,
sorry if i miss some points, but i am just replying quick.
a diet alteration often causes a change in your cycle, but nothing that would be detrimental (sometimes a lighter flow, or an early period for a few months).
if you are getting adequate nutrition and eating properly, then your vegetarianism has nothing to do with what is going on. it's good you saw a doctor.
i would go over the diet with them, if you are concerned.
other than that, if you have PCOS or a cyst, it's good to find out.
as for your last question, no, you do not NEED anything animal derived for anything.
