New to ttc

Hey! Im new to ttc. I just came off birth control this last cycle. Ive been on birth control for years, since i was 12. Im 22 now. My period this last cycle lasted for five days. On days 7,8,9 I had very light cramping more towards one side of my lower abdomen, kind of towards my hip bone. Would that have been an ovulation pain? I know for some people coming on birth control it takes awhile to regulate their cycles and to start ovulating again. Ive just never felt that dull cramping only on one side before. I didnt have LH test strips at the time, but next cycle im going to start to use them and tracking my basal temp. If anyone has any idea or any tips please let me know. I would love to connect with anyone going through the same journey.
