The shameless California fertility doc who did all the in-vitro procedures on Octomom Nadya Suleman broke his promise to stop treatments after her sixth child, her dad charged yesterday.
Edward Suleman, the grandfather of Nadya’s 14 children, including her new octuplets, told The Post that Dr. Michael Kamrava gave him his word he wouldn’t do any more.
“The doctor should lose his license,” Edward Suleman said. “I begged him not to do this.”
In another development, neighbors of the Sulemans said that before the octuplets’ birth, Nadya – already using food stamps to feed her first six kids – went to a plastic surgeon for collagen injections.
“I saw her just before she went in and her lips were huge,” one neighbor said. “And she also had gotten her nails done.”
By the time of her interview with Ann Curry on the “Today” show – which caused many to remark on Suleman’s resemblance to Angelina Jolie – the lip swelling had come down considerably, neighbors said.
One injection of collagen can cost as much as $800, about $300 more than the money the single, unemployed mother is receiving each month in food stamps. In the second part of Curry’s interview with Suleman, aired on “Dateline” last night, the six older kids were introduced. They range in age from 2-year-old twins to a 7-year-old.
“It’s going to be, like, fun because I can play . . . but the house is going to be squishy,” 5-year-old Joshua said of his eight new siblings.
Octomom insisted there’ll be no more kids. “I’m done . . . done!” she said.
Although she had been supporting herself with disability payments from an injury she sustained in 1999, those funds have since dried up and she said she plans to take out additional student loans to pay bills – “just temporarily.”
The children’s’ granddad also told The Post that “David Solomon” – the name listed on the babies’ birth certificates – is not their father. In fact, Nadya made it up, he said.
“She wouldn’t put the true name on there because then he [the donor] wouldn’t be protected or anonymous,” he said. “At some point in the future, if he wants to be a part of the children’s lives, I am sure she would let him.”
Under California law, the father must sign a form to have his name on the birth certificate. But Edward Suleman contends the document was falsified. The California attorney general said falsifying a birth certificate is a felony punishable by a maximum of three years in jail.
Meanwhile, the granddad is not the only one upset with Kamrava, who was also condemned by fellow fertility doctors for his apparent decision to transfer six embryos into Suleman’s uterus, even though guidelines suggest no more than two for women under age 35. Nadya is 33.
“It seems that the guidelines may not have been followed in Ms. Suleman’s case,” the American Society for Reproductive Medicine said in a statement, promising a probe.
The California Medical Board is already investigating, and fertility doctors said Kamrava – whose clinic has among the worst success rates in the nation – could end up losing his license.
The clinic performed only 62 IVF cycles in 2006. And in women under 35, he succeeded only 10 percent of the time – compared with the national average of 39 percent.
Kamrava transferred an average of 3.5 embryos into women under 35 – far greater than the national average of 2.3.
