Pregnancy after the IUD

I'm 21 and about a year ago, my husband and I lost our first baby in my 12th week of pregnancy.  After a long discussion with my obgyn, I decided to have the IUD put in.  In April of this year, I had it taken out because we decided to start trying again.  My doctor told me that it would take some time for me to start normal periods again.  It took 2 months.  I've only had one period since I had my IUD removed and it lasted roughly 4 weeks.  We are still trying to concieve but I can't see it happening anytime soon with my period the way it is.  Should I consult my doctor?

Trying to concieve,
I had my IUD placed 8 weeks after my LO was born (LO is now 15 1/2 months), and just had mine removed on July 20. I nursed until my LO was 13 months (bedtime feeding only from 11 months on) but still did not get a period for the first few months of partially weaning.  I have not had a period for a complete 2 years, i waited 20days after removal of IUD before trying to concieve.  I've had my IDU taken out for 1 month 1 day and have not gotten a period.  Is it possible i could be pregnant?  If I take HPT now will it give an accurate reading?  What brand of HPT is dependable.
