Had IUD removed yesterday how long will it take now?

I had my IUD removed yesterday. The Dr. told me that it may take me 2 weeks to ovulate, or it may take me 15 weeks. We are wanting to get pregnant. I didn't have a period while I had the IUD, however I only had it for 7 months. Should I wait to get normal periods before we try or should we just try. The Dr. did say to wait 36 to 48 hours before sex, but didnt say anything else. Just wondering if anyone has gone through this.

going to get my i.u.d. removed tomorrow!! i'm soo happy! the last month it has been causing me horrible shocking pains in the abdomen and feirce mood swings which my poor husband has had to endure. i never read the side effects of mirena because i was very young when i got it (17) and had just had my baby boy so i was in the thought of well if a dr. thinks its okay, ... i have never been so wrong. my side effects let me know it was mirena, started off with the mood changes, nausea, and weight gain. turned into hair loss, severe abdominal pains and heat palpations where i feel like my heart is going to either explode or quit beating, an that sends me into a panic attack! i've been counting the days until my mirena removal (surgery cause it's embedded) <-- hence the enormous pain. i can't wait until my body adjusts to a safer more simple life and hopefully i go back to the old me. i miss not having the energy to play with my son and all i want to do is lay on the couch :( but hopefully tomorrow will be a new beginning for me!

I had my iud for 3 years then my health took a turn for the worse.. My sugar was so low and blood pressure couldn't be control by health eating anymore.. I couldn't sleep.. Headaches and really bad shakes and looking at the computer was hard . I became moody and sad very emotional which was wierd for me because I'm really a happy upbeat person.. I looked up a website that explains that the iud can't cause hypoglycemia which I had since I had my son 2 years prior to getting the iud. But when my health was changing drastically the doctors didn't think it was the iud but I got it taken out and the very next day I could see good again I'm so happy feeling very energetic and my sugar has been normal.. Its only been 3 day and I feel great. Trust ur body and heart which told me the iud was the issue.
