@leah_talbot We are a fellow IVF family so we also thought a lot about when to try again with our frozen embryos. One thing I would suggest is to check with your RE about any testing that might need to be re done and what their scheduling currently looks like. We had been hoping for a 2 ish year age gap and ended up with a 2.5 year gap mostly due to scheduling stuff for our FET.
I will say with that gap I've found that our girls do play together a lot. They share a room and toys as well. It was hard though during that first year or so. 2.5 was a hard age in terms of clinginess for our oldest and adjusting was tough but she was also old enough to want to hold and talk to her baby sister a lot. I will add however that I think kids can have special bonds no matter the gap. Our kids have a two year old cousin and my 7 year old has a very close bond with him. She is one of his favorite people to play with and s does on him a ton. It's freaking adorable.
