About the clinic
Embryo transfer is a vital step in the IVF process performed at the clinic of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral in Istanbul, Turkey. This procedure involves placing fertilized embryos into the uterus to achieve pregnancy. The clinic is led by a specialist with over 20 years of experience who personally oversees every stage of the treatment.
The Embryo Transfer Process
The procedure is quick and generally painless. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral uses a thin catheter to guide the embryos through the cervix and into the uterus. This process happens under abdominal ultrasound guidance. Patients need a full bladder to help the specialist see the uterine area clearly during the transfer. Depending on the quality and number of embryos, the transfer occurs on day 3 or day 5, known as the blastocyst stage.
The clinic offers two main types of transfers:
- Fresh Transfer: Occurs shortly after egg retrieval and fertilization in the current cycle.
- Frozen Transfer: Uses embryos from a previous cycle that were cryopreserved. This removes the need for new ovarian stimulation.
Post-Transfer Care and Results
After the procedure, patients should rest for the first few days. It is important to avoid heavy exercise, high stress, and very hot baths. You should not take painkillers or new medications without talking to the doctor first. Some patients notice light spotting or mild groin pain, which is normal. A blood pregnancy test is scheduled 12 days after the transfer. If the result is positive, an ultrasound follows two weeks later.
Expertise of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral is a specialist in gynecology, obstetrics, and assisted reproductive technology. He previously served as the head of the IVF Unit at Liv Hospital. With over 25 years of experience, he has joined several major medical groups.

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral: more details about the clinic
Turkey, Istanbul
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Serkan Oral operates a private single-specialty clinic in Istanbul's Kadıköy district. The practice focuses on gynecology, obstetrics, and assisted reproductive technology. Dr. Serkan Oral leads the clinic with over 25 years of experience. He previously headed the IVF Unit at Liv Hospital. He also held senior roles at Medical Park and German Hospital.
Accreditations and Professional Recognition
The clinic holds the International Health Tourism Authorization Certificate. It maintains affiliations with major reproductive organizations including ESHRE and SART. Dr. Oral is an active member of several professional societies:
- American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM)
- European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology (ESHRE)
- Turkish Society of Reproductive Medicine (TSRM)
- American Association of Gynecologic Laparoscopists (AAGL)
- European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE)
These memberships keep the clinic aligned with global standards in fertility and endoscopic surgery.
Reproductology and IVF Services
The clinic treats both female and male infertility using evidence-based protocols. Healthy couples have a 25% monthly pregnancy chance. IVF can increase this to 60%. Specialists create individualized plans based on age and ovarian reserve. The reproductology department manages several conditions and procedures:
- IVF (in vitro fertilization) and ICSI microinjection
- Controlled cryopreservation of embryos stored in liquid nitrogen
- Fertility preservation through egg freezing
- Micro TESE for male patients with no sperm in semen analysis
- Management of PCOS and ovarian endometriomas (chocolate cysts)
Fertility preservation is a core focus for patients planning future families. The specialist evaluates ovarian reserve before recommending egg or embryo freezing.
Advanced Gynecological Surgery
Specialists perform minimally invasive surgeries to treat uterine and ovarian conditions. These procedures often address underlying causes of infertility. Surgeons use vNOTES, a technique that leaves no visible abdominal scars. The surgical team performs various interventions:
- Hysteroscopic septum resection to correct uterine abnormalities
- Laparoscopic myomectomy for the removal of uterine fibroids
- Hysteroscopic polypectomy to remove endometrial polyps
- Surgical management of hydrosalpinx to improve IVF success rates
For fibroids, the clinic recommends removal if they exceed 6 cm or cause pressure. Pre-operative hormone therapy may shrink fibroids or treat anemia. Surgeons also treat urinary incontinence with non-surgical laser therapy when suitable.
Diagnostic Technologies
The clinic uses detailed imaging and lab tests to build treatment plans. Diagnostic tools help identify uterine adhesions, fibroids, or blocked tubes. The facility has specific diagnostic equipment:
- Transvaginal and pelvic ultrasound systems
- HSG (hysterosalpingogram) for uterine X-ray imaging
- Colposcopy for early detection of cervical cellular changes
- Hysteroscopy for direct visual inspection of the uterine cavity
- Semen analysis and DNA testing for male fertility evaluation
These tools let the specialist monitor pregnancy and screen for gynecological concerns.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides structured support for international patients through its health tourism authorization. Communication is available in English for consultations and treatment planning. The specialist guides patients through each technical step of the IVF process. The practice is located in Kızıltoprak, a central Istanbul district.

Because of the health problems I was dealing with, I was going through a very stressful period. However, Mr. Serkan is, by far, Istanbul’s best doctor thanks to his expertise, the way he communicates, and the confidence he gives. I would also like to thank Nurse Şenay for the support she provided during this time. You can choose Mr. Serkan and his team without any hesitation.

We happened to come across Hocа Serkan on Instagram by chance, and we’re really glad that our paths crossed. He helped us with everything and patiently answered all our questions, explaining in a way we could understand with examples :) His sincerity and friendly smile made us very happy. The ladies working with the teacher, Şenay Hanım and Seda Hanım, are just as attentive and always kind—they help with everything and we can reach them whenever we need to by phone. In short, we’re happy and satisfied to have been together with people who love what they do during this process :)

I feel extremely lucky to have met Serkan Hoca. I couldn’t have a child for 12 years, and despite going to so many places, I never got any results. After extensive research, I finally went to Serkan Hoca. Truly, he is a competent doctor—friendly, warm, and professional. The staff were excellent as well. After a short course of treatment, I want to thank him so much. We now have a daughter. First, thanks to Allah, and then thanks to Serkan Hoca—I offer my gratitude and appreciation. I recommend starting treatment with Serkan Hoca without any hesitation, completely with confidence.
