Hi. I am writing because I would love to get any advice from a nurse, doctor, or someone who has experienced similar who might be able to give me insight on some health problems I have been going through.

So late January (2017) I stopped taking birth control, and ever since April I have been having problems as a result. When I was 18 I had an episode of having a cyst that went away on its own as well as PID, but immediately felt better after getting on birth control.

Fast forward to now I am 24 and bout 4 weeks ago I found out I had a hemorrhagic complex cyst on my left ovary after a transvaginal ultra sound and an xray showed such... prior to finding out I was having lower abdominal pain below my belly button but above my pelvic area. About a week later my pain started to travel down to pelvic area and hip. Felt like someone was stomping on those bones down there and like vaginal muscles hurt as well as going to the bathroom and standing up for long. 3 weeks ago I went to ER after severe pelvic pain and they did a transvaginal ultra sound and CAT scan and said my cyst was gone and nothing was wrong which pissed me off because I was suffering in pain and have a high pain tolerance. So I scheduled an appointment with a gyno for that next Monday, where she tells me my cyst didn't disappear it RUPTURED and that she would give me antibiotics to help because I had a pelvic infection. She said after about a week of meds I would feel better... and I did for a while but now that my ovulation portion of my cycle is occuring I once again  feel miserable pelvic pain that makes  it hard to stand for a while and it is constant...sometimes going to the bathroom hurts as well. I thought that maybe since the meds did not help and it my cyst should be healed by now that I might have endometriosis that did not become relevant till I stopped birth control... however my doctor said from my xrays, transvaginal ultra sounds, cat scans, and pelvic exams that it seems unlikely but cannot be 100% ruled against as laproscopies are the only thing that fully show evidence..

I just feel torn because I am sick of being in pain and sick of not knowing why this medicine isn't working or this test isn't revealing what is wrong with me, etc. I also worry about having potential issues with fertility or chronic pain that makes every day life difficult if this doesn't go away. Any advice on what to do? I feel like I have to be proactive and that something in my body is just really wrong.
