The incidence of mammary tumors is reduced in animals spayed before their first estrus cycle. But spaying soon after that- as opposed to waiting five years- isn't going to increase the odds all that much.
Heat cycles in cats can be very disruptive to a household, and stressful to the cat as well. I think this is one of the main reasons for doing it early, besides the fact that young cats recover much more quickly.
Just get your kitty spayed as soon as possible and don't worry about what you "should of/could have" done.
"Now" is the best time.
