TTC timing

Husband and I have a 19 month old who was born June 2024. (Due July but was 5 weeks early).

My body is finally feeling ready to start thinking about trying again.

My first pregnancy I was pretty sick throughout and was bedridden the first 6 weeks or so, so I’m nervous to potentially be sick with a toddler. TTC was easy the first time so I’m assuming it will go similarly this time (husband and I are 25 and I have stage 2 endo but no PCOS). I know there’s a lot of privilege in my situation with not struggling with fertility.

My best friend’s wedding is coming up in June of this year and I’d like to not be in first trimester so we either need to try in February, which would lead to a November baby if successful or wait until late May which would be a February baby.

Part of me wants to get out of first tri as fast as possible and try next month since we may not get pregnant anyway but I also don’t know that I want to have a baby right before the holidays.

On the other hand, I’d rather be sick in spring rather than miss a good portion of the summer. There’s also a chance that I have a glowing pregnancy this time and don’t lose significant weight but I’m not counting on it.

Does anyone have any thoughts or questions that could help us further think about this?
