Ovulating After Stopping Birth Control Pills

Ok i stopped my birth control pills about 2 weeks into starting my new pack. This of course made me start bleeding. I bled lightly (old blood) for 2 or 3 days and that was it. I never took anymore pills after that, but I would now be on the placebo pills this week and I haven't started my period. When should I ovulate after stopping the pills? Was the light old blood bleeding for 2 or 3 days a period or what? Is been about 2 or 3 weeks since I took my last pill. How long should I wait to see if I start my period before I test? I've been cramping bad the last 2 days which is what usually happens the days following up to my period, so if I'm going to have one, I should soon. What do you guys think?

Thanks for the response. I ended up staring my period on the 1st. Perfect day to start tracking. I've ordered some OPKs, so hopefully they'll come in son and I can use them this cycle.

Your body will have to regulate itself now that you are off the pill and each body responds differently. You could be starting your period. Best way to tell if you are ovulating is to track your cm or test I think.
