I don't think its stupid. And, if you KNOW that's what it is...I wouldn't go to the ER. If you are unsure I would definitely go. But after going to the ER a few times and having it only be a ruptured cyst I just deal with it. The only thing is that now I wonder if sometimes I deal with it when it really is something that could get taken care of. If you do go when you are having this pain they will do a pregnancy test and, if an OB is on call, they might do an ultrasound. When you tell your OB your symptoms they will prob want to do an ultrasound anyways.

One thing - if they tell you to have a hysterosonogram....prepare yourself. That was the day I learned to never trust a MALE obgyn. He said "it should feel just like regular cramps". BULL HONKY! I cried for hours afterwards and it felt almost worse than a cyst rupturing. Just as a warning. However, them doing it allowed them to see over a dozen cysts in each ovary and a polyp in my uterus. So it is good to have the knowledge.
