I get hardcore ovulation, like the action of sitting down or even jostling too much is physically painful on that side next to my hip bone. Are cysts that similar in feeling to kidney stones? I thought the two had totally different origin points, but I've never had a kidney stone before that I'm aware of.

No, ovarian cysts and kidney stones bring very different sensations.

So, for me, regardless of what the other users says, for the first..little bit of onset- they are similar. but both tend to start with a dull generalized ache for me. Then gets worse.

Once it gets worse they are completely different sensations, but the first warning twinges I get are at least for me, confusable with each other. So there's a brief period of "oh god. oh god. which thing is about to happen..." Time gives me the answer, very clearly so.
