Pregnancy after IUD removal

I recently got an iud removed, on Jan 17th and i was wondering how long does it take to become pregnant after??
I feel as if i am pregnant since i am experiencing some symptoms of pregnancy, such as sore breasts, frequent urination, headaches, little cramps, some constipation, and alil morning sickness but not throwing up...But i took a test on valentines day and it was negative but could it be due to my hormones are off alittle??
I started taking prenatal vitamins on Jan 15th... I don't really know when i am ovulating since i havent had a period for 11 months. I am only 20 years old so i'd think my fertility is pretty good.

It took me 3 months! Believe me it seemed like a long time at the time but it doesnt now!! I also had lots of pregnancy symptoms for the months I wasnt...must be a hormonal thing when it is removed, I've seen a number of people experiencing the same thing...good luck, I'm sure it will happen for you soon!

I had gotten my IUD out in June of 10'. Even had complications taking it out..had to go to specialist and they almost couldn't even get it out. But thank god they did and 2 months later got preggo and had a beautiful, healthy baby girl in June 2012. So it will happen, even though it seems like it takes forever. Just give it time :) Good luck!

I also got pregnant right after my Mirena removal!! a lot of people take a year or more tho... even an average woman only has a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant on the first try

Every person is different. Some times it goes back to normal right away and some times it takes 3 months for a persons cycle to go back to normal after stopping any birth control. if you haven't had anything after 40 days though you should talk to your Dr.  I know my Dr would not let me go more then that without inducing a cycle.
