I know it's hard to put your mind to something else when you're so scared, (I'm having a minor freak out myself right now and even though I'm doing something else there it is in the back of my mind) but if you occupy yourself with something totally non HA related, do everything you can to keep it out of your mind, then you will start to feel better. It doesn't make the worry go away but it does give you a bit of respite...
You say you haven't seen a gynacologist in years, would a visit to one put your mind at rest? Would you be able to trust them when they told you there was nothing wrong?
Did they give you an ultrasound when you had a kidney stone? With it all being in roughly the same area they should have been able to see your overies too I think, they would notice if there was something wrong.
I know it's hard but try to put it out of your mind, and maybe get a professional opinion if you think it would help.
