We are trying to conceive and I have been on birth control. My period was earlier this month on the 8th of August and when I stopped the birth control, I had my period again on the 22nd of August. I just want to know if I will ovulate from the 1st period or the second or even at all?

Most doctors recommend that you wait at least 3 months after stopping birth control before trying to conceive. Why? It can take that long for your body to get "back on track".
If you're on the pill, that's designed to prevent ovulation. It can take your body time to adjust and start ovulating again.
In other words, there's no way for any of us to tell you whether you'll ovulate from the first period, the second, the third, or later. Each woman is different.
