 If it's the 'IUD' you have implanted - and it's removed, then it's possible to get pregnant immediately. In fact, since sperm can live for up to five days, it is possible for a woman to get pregnant due to intercourse she had before it was removed.
If you have a hormonal IUD, it could take a while for your period and fertility to come back to normal. So if you want to get pregnant, you can start trying right away. If you don't want to get pregnant, you will need to use another form of birth control right away.
The following now, is a quote from a medical journal:
"An IUD is an interuterine device that blocks sperm from reaching an egg and fertilizing it. The different types of IUD devices work differently to achieve the same goal of preventing pregnancy.
Copper-based IUDs use small amounts of copper to discourage motion of the sperm and to prevent implantation if the sperm were able to fertilize an egg.
The hormonal version thickens the mucus on the cervix, preventing sperm from being able to penetrate while also thinning the lining of the uterus so that a fertilized egg cannot implant.
When a woman elects to remove her IUD in order to get pregnant, physicians often recommend waiting 60 to 90 days to attempt pregnancy in order to flush out the copper or excess hormones from the system. This allows the lining of the uterus to recover."
Good luck!

 Not as far as I know. When I had mine taken out, it wasn't to have a baby, so that didn't apply. But as far as I know, fertility is restored straight away. I think the Injection is the one that takes about 3 months to get out the system.
Could always google it. I'm sure you will get professional answers on there about it.
