Starting my period after my Paragard was removed

My last period ended on 6/25/12. My IUD (Paragard) was taken out on 7/16/12 - a few days before I was suppose to start my next period but I never started. I bled for a couple of days (due to the iud) but then it came to an abrupt stop. It has now been almost 3 weeks since my IUD was removed and still no cycle. I have had a few pregnancy symptoms (nausea, fatigue, hunger,and achey boobs). I have taken several test, all stating negative BUT I know my body and it tells me otherwise. I have a 2 year old so I am very aware of what it feels like to be pregnant. On another note, since my IUD was taken out, there have been a few encounters with unprotected sex. SO, test say no while my body says yes. Its been 6 weeks since my last period and I am just about loosing my mind over this! Paragard contains no additional hormones so there is no reason my body should be going crazy like it is.

What could this mean?? Could I be pregnant but its just not showing up on a home PT?

(Also, I have yet to stop lactating and I quit nursing in January??)
