Cysts and Fertility: A ruptured cyst is usually not a cause of infertility by itself. If the cyst is from endometriosis then you probably would have difficulty with fertility because the cyst implies severe disease. If a ruptured cyst cause scar tissue the it could cause infertility. Recurrent cysts can prevent normal ovulation and medications sometimes make the cysts worse. See an rei physician for fertility advise.

Depends on cyst: Ovarian cysts usually do not cause infertility. Most ovarian cysts that rupture have no effect on future fertility. Ovarian endometriomas however are associated with infertility, but a standard infertility evaluation including assessment of sperm characteristics and patency of fallopian tubes is still recommended even if this was the case.
