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.

I got my iud removed in September but when I got it removed it was a day after my af and after I got it removed I had period like bleeding the day after getting it removed for 4 days usually the length of my period when October came around I started on the same day I started bleeding after getting it removed and when November came around I haven't had a period and am 7 days late. I took 2 hpt the day of my missed period and one yesterday and both came out negative. Is there a chance that I might be pregnant?

I had my IUD removed 2 1/2 weeks ago. I had no bleeing at the time,a nd have had none since, except maybe one spot.   I have had an upset stomach, cramping and dizzyness for the past few days.  Could this be my period trying to start?  I have not had a period for 4 years.

I just started bleeding today after having it removed on Tuesday, does this mean that I was ovulating with it in? And it is ok to start ttc after this is over or is this just a spotting thing?

I spotted off and on for a few days after removal. One of the primary functions of the IUD is to thin the uterine lining in an effort to prevent implantation from occuring should you ovulate. I would try and wait until you get a period so your lining has a chance to thicken up a bit. But what you decide to do is entirely up to you : )
