When you're on birth control for that long, it is possible that the following month after stopping it you'll begin ovulating but it is also possible for you to take a few months longer before your body returns to its normal ovulating state. Don't assume that there is anything wrong with you, pregnancy takes time. Most of the time, doctors are not even concerned until you have been actively trying to conceive for a year or more. If you have a 28 day cycle, you can assume that you are ovulating on around day 14. Some women feel a tiny cramping during that time, an increase in discharge is also a sign of ovulation, and a slight increase in basal body temperature will also indicate ovulation.
You are very young and have plenty of time to get pregnant-- try not to rush things and take everything in stride. The less stressed out you are about this, the better your chances of conception are.
