Thank you for the question and for visiting this site.
It is very difficult to say how well your attempts at conception were timed without knowing the first day of your last period. In general, women with the copper IUD still get a period, and there is no delay to getting pregnant with it removed. Counting the first day of your period as day#1, most women ovulate around day#14. Have intercourse only on days 10/12/14/16 and do a pregnancy test between days 28-35. If this test is negative, then you probably did not conceive that cycle. A test will turn positive about two weeks after conception.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
