Issues with TTC and now to plan a wedding

Hi

I got engaged a few weeks ago to my partner of 7 years and father of our 3 year old son. Something I've wanted since I can remember so I'm on cloud 9. We've been TTC for our second for over 2 years to no avail. We've been diagnosed with unexplained infertility. Clomid failed and our next step is IVF. A week before the proposal I met with our fertility doctor and informed her I wanted a break from ttc. It's so disheartening, she agreed it was a good step.
I was really I'll for my first pregnancy and really do not want to get married pregnant for this reason. I'm therefore considering getting married next year and then restarting ttc/commencing IVF after the wedding.

I feel guilty in stopping and am doubting I'm making the right decision but I feel I need something to focus on that's got a positive ending that I'm in control of if that makes sense?

Is it ok to completely stop trying? I don't know.

I think it would depend a bit on age maybe.
If you are late 30s/ 40s I would say keep trying now.
But if you are 20s or early thirties I would say it is fine to take a little break and try again when you're married.
If the doc has said it's a good idea I would follow their advice.
