According to the data you reported (pain in the ovaries during or after intercourse, swollen ovaries detected on ultrasound, legs going numb, cramping, on YAZ birth control pill), it seems likely that you might be experiencing a condition related to the ovaries.
It is very important to check whether the pain is related to a certain part of the menstrual cycle (before or after ovulation or menstrual period). This might indicate a connection with hormonal changes occurring during the menstrual cycle.
The swelling of the ovaries might be related to inflammation of the ovaries called oophoritis. Hyper production of female sex hormones might also be a consequence of enlarged ovaries especially if their size is caused by stimulating hormones produced from other places, for example, from the pituitary gland. The increased female sex hormones might be responsible for the pain during or after intercourse.
You might want to visit your gynecologist and have your hormones checked with laboratory tests. It might reveal hyper production. Additional tests (CT scan or MRI) might be needed to detect the actual cause for the increased production of the hormones.
