The implant is the ideal option .since extraction was carried out one month back wait for 5 months more to get the implant. Hormonal therapy is not a contraindication for the implant procedure, if pregnant delay the treatment.

There are different types of implants available depending upon your choice some require (4-8weeks) , (12-16weeks), (after 16 weeks) of gap after extraction.
You can also try getting a bridge but that would unnecessarily require RCT of the adjacent teeth.
If you’re planning pregnancy...many of the procedures will have to be avoided during 1st and 3rd trimester and few can be taken in case of emergency during 2nd trimester.
Plan your treatment accordingly.
Next Steps
Consult a dentist and plan out a good treatment plan.

Dental implants is the best option for replacement of the missing second molar tooth but if you are pregnant better to avoid the procedure for the time being and reschedule it later.
