ovulation or just cramps?

as many of you know, this month is my first month ttc, i got my iud out on the 12 and af began on the 14, last night and this morning ive been having cramps in one side, not really painful, but i noticed it, could i already be ovulating?ive never really noticed ovulation cramps before so im not sure what they would feel like  (my period only lasted 2 days, so i just stopped bleeding 3 days ago) and do you girls know if the ovulation tests at the dollar store work?

The dollar store OPK's seem to work fine for me.  I could never afford the other ones, as many as I've used.  I usually get cramps around ovulation and notice PMS symptoms for a day or so then they go away.  

This month was the first time I've ever seen spotting during ovulation though, but they say that's possible.

It IS possible to ovulate that early but rare. You may have a small cyst on your ovary that will go away in a few months (very common). Wait to see if it persists... but probably not ovulation this soon.

i was thinking that it would be to early, i just didnt know if my cycles of ovulation would be affected by the removal of the iud, ive heard that it doesnt mess with your cycles, but af was only here 2 days and very light(off and on for the two days) im going to test today to see, just to make sure i dont miss the "o"day, thanks all
