Is Natural or Medicated FET better?

Question

Can someone please explain a “natural FET” to me. Is it only for women who ovulate on their own? What meds (if any) did you take? 
Does anybody know the stats between medicated and natural FET? Meaning which one is more successful? 
Also why do people need to be on birthcontrol again before starting an FET? 
How long did the FET cycle take?

Answer

I’m just about to start meds for my first FET on Monday! I’m super regular consistently and we are still doing a medicated cycle. My clinic has higher success rates with medicated vs natural. For me no birth control, but I will be taking suprefact starting Monday to shut down my system, and then when I get my period in a week or so, I will start taking estrogen and as we get closer to transfer add in progesterone. So start meds June 8 with transfer somewhere between July 13-16 ish.

Answer

I believe it took a month to plan it. So after I got my eggs retrieved they sent them of for pgs testing and my doctor recommended we waited a month to get my body time to recover from stimming. Then the month after was all spent taking my Bc and estrogen tablets and I would go in for lining ultrasound checks and had my last one before my transfer to make sure it was nice and thick for the embryo to implant. 
Then I scheduled it and had the transfer completed and kept up with my medications and of coarse started testing praying for my positive lol

Answer

I think the success rate is pretty much the same. I’ve done a medicated one but if this didn’t work my next one would be a natural FET. You don’t use meds at all and you ovulate then schedule your FET. You can also do a semi-natural/supplemented FET. If you have trouble ovulating they give you letrozole on days 3-7 then you get a trigger shot so you ovulate 100%. You can also supplement it with some progesterone. 
My clinic never used birth control. I came for bloodwork on CD3.

Answer

I did medicated frozen embryo transfer.. i had no fertility issues our issues was strictly male factor. I chose to do ivf since I didn’t like the low chances of Iui. 
I transferred a 5 day pgs tested Ab baby girl. I was on birth control so they could monitor my cycle and prevent me from prematurely ovulating because that can cause your period to come. 
The whole point of birth control is so they can control your hormones i was on estrogen tablets 3x a day to strengthen uterine lining and progesterone injections to help my body think I was already pregnant. I got pregnant my first transfer. Could I have done a natural transfer with no medications sure would the odds have been the same probably not. I was willing to do whatever gave me a better chance. 
I’m now 33 weeks and due next month. 
It’s over whelming but just trust your doctor. I also stayed on estrogen and progesterone throughout most of my pregnancy probably till week 20
