My cyst rupture NIGHTMARE

Hey Y'all!! 
A few years back I was diagnosed with endometriosis (I know just one more thing to deal with right?!) I have always had issues with cysts but on the morning of August 5th 2016 those issues were about to become a NIGHTMARE! It all started the night before... It began with light belly cramping but as the night went on it just got worse and worse! To the point where I could barely roll over or even get out of bed! It felt like I was having a baby! I finally agreed to go to the E.R. around 5:30am on the 5th. Now when I WILLINGLY go to the ER that's when you know something is wrong! I got there and all my vitals were taken and I was taken back to a room where blood was drawn and a CT Scan was ordered. The CT Scan was SO uncomfortable! After it was done I was taken back to my room to await the results... it seemed like FOREVER before the ER doctor came in and informed me that they had seen a significant amount of blood around one of my ovaries/tubes! I asked him what that meant and he said he wasn't sure and that he was consulting with the on call gynecologist... He left the room and I immediately called my momma to tell her what was said. She is a teacher and was in class at the time so she couldn't answer her cell. I started to calmly leave a message but ended up bursting into tears! I mean I had all sorts of things running thru my mind! "Am I going to be able to have kids still?" "Will there be damage to my tubes and ovaries"... I was in panick mode! I decided to text my oldest sister whom is a nurse practitioner and ask her about it. Before she texted back though the doctor came back and said that I had suffered a ruptured cyst! He then administered pain meds and prescribed a few things to help keep me comfy and allowed me to go home. Well I was sore the first couple days but was able to get myself comfy.... Well comfy enough to not be miserable! Then exactly a week after the first rupture... The pain started all over again! I went back to the ER but this time the doctor wasn't helpful... AT ALL! She ordered another CT Scan and when it came back she basically brushed my pain off and said I was just having normal symptoms from the first rupture! She gave me pain meds and sent me home... Y'all by the next morning I couldn't move! So I rushed back to the ER and this doctor looked at my CT from the night before... He informed me that there was more blood which was consistent with another smaller rupture! He then did a full check of everything and gave me a stronger pain med and an anti inflammatory and I was able to go home a couple hours later. Now I don't know what the other doctors problem was the night before but that should NEVER have happened! In the weeks that followed the blood slowly absorbed and I began to return to normal activities. But because of lack of appetite I ended up losing 8lbs in 3 weeks! 
Since that incident I began my daily walking and when I returned to the Dr in January he informed me that there was no signs of cysts!! I just went again in June and he informed me again there were no signs of cysts! So I guess my walking and yoga had definitely been worth it! Even if it's rough a times!
