Suggestions?

Katie
I've been on birth control since I was 15. Started with the pill, was on depo for 2 years, went to pill (couldn't remember to take it everyday) and then got the Skyla IUD. I've had my IUD for about 8 months but my SO and I have been talking about starting a family. So I guess my question to you ladies is; how long does it take to regulate after getting off birth control? Side effects?  How long should I wait before not using protection? 
I've heard of so many girls getting pregnant the same month they take their IUD out and as much as I want to have a child with my fiancé, I also want to be in a bigger house first (we have a 2 bedroom apartment now) so I don't want it to happen right away but I also want my body to get back to its natural vibes.
