IVF - Lies And Videotape
Your Subtitle text

It's All Media Lies

Facts from the Medical Board Hearing:

1.  12 fresh embryos were transferred for the cycle that resulted in the octuplet pregnancy.  Medical records show 16 eggs were harvested, 14 embryos created and 12 blastocyst embryos were transferred.

2.  During each of her previous 10 IVF cycles, between 4 and 7 embryos were transferred each time, with the remaining embryos cryopreserved, except for the 11/2007 cycle where no transfer occured, all embryos were cryopreserved.

3.  At this time there are 29 cyrypreserved embryos of Ms. Suleman's, no frozen embryos have ever been used for her fertility treatments.

4.  Although the judge did not allow questions as to how much the fertility treatments for Ms Suleman cost, medical expert testimony indicated that the 13 fertility treatements between 1997 and 2008 would have cost between $15,000 and $18,000 each.  This would be an aggregated cost of nearly a quarter of a million dollars over 11 years, nine of which Ms Suleman was collecting worker's compensation disability for a back injury sustained in 1999.

5.  Ms Suleman told Dr Kamrava that she was unmarried, although Dr Kamrava claims she introduced him to her 'live-in partner' early in treatment, who would be a sperm donor for her fertility treatment.  The sperm donor is listed in the medical records as 'anonymous'.  Ms Suleman was married to Marcos Gutierrez in August 1996, less than 8 months prior to her first treatment with Dr. Kamrava.

6.  Dr Kamarava stated that the twelve embryo transfer on 7/19/2008 was at Ms Suleman's insistance, that she didn't want the embryos frozen, and that she had agreed to selective reduction if more than 3 embryos implanted.  He claims she didn't return to his office afterwards.

From Ann Curry Interview:

Nadya Suleman: I had so many reproductive problems from fibroids. I have also had lesions in my fallopian tubes. It turned out that my tubes were scarred.

From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board Report:

Medical records report summarizes 12/7/1998 laparoscopy performed at Kaiser, diagnosis: pelvic adhesions, bilateral tubal patentcy (clear, open fallopian tubes).


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board Report:

Medical history taken by Dr. Bloch, treating Psychiatrist indicates patient Nadya Suleman had two prior ectopic pregnancies.


From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board Report:

Medical history taken by Dr. Nehamen, QME Psycologist indicates patient Nadya Suleman had 3 prior miscarriages.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board Report:

1/3/2001 examination by Dr. Fedder QME Orthopedic surgeon.  Patient Nadya Suleman declines to have X-ray of back, claiming she 'might be pregnant'.  When asked if she was currently trying get pregnant she responded "no, everything was put on hold immediately after I got injured, I couldn’t.” She states “I have to focus on my back. I have to get better.”

From Medical Board Complaint against Dr. Kamrava:

7/13/2000 patient NS began hormone therapy as precursor to IVF, cycle cancelled without egg retrieval.
8/15/2000 patient NS began hormone therapy as precursor to IVF
8/29/2000 patient NS egg retrieval
9/3/2000 patient NS underwent intrauterine tranfer of blastocycts resulting in a singleton pregnancy.  Remaining embryos frozen.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Ann Curry Interview:

Nadya Suleman: I'm like, well, there's - there's some left. There's some left. And, you know what, I knew in my mind that if it hadn't worked, I'm done. Doesn't work, it's not meant .And I'm gonna let go and move on. So, the last try.

From Dr Phil Interview:

N: A lot of people are angered. I think that is one valid perception. I don’t necessarily – I don’t necessarily agree with it and a lot of people, psychologists just will say I am defensive, but I believe that my belief is that they were there. They are frozen. I did not want to look back, reflect fifty years from now… 


Nadya Suleman has repeatedly asserted that the octuplet pregnancy was the result of using the remaining embyros that had been cryopreserved after the twin pregnancy.


From Medical Board Complaint against Dr. Kamrava:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From Ann Curry Interview:

(When asked how she was able to pay for all the IVF treatments - at that time, the public was not aware that between 1997 and 2008, she underwent 2 cycles of IUI and 11 cycles of IVF with Dr Kamrava.)

Nadya Suleman: And I was able to work double-shifts, constantly working double-shifts, 


From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board Report:

Dr. Nagelberg - Comprehensive Orthopedic Consultation and Report: Job Despcription:  patient (Nadya Suleman) employed at Metropolitan State Hospital (from July 1997 until injured September 1999) worked 8 hours per day, five days per week, plus 10 hours overtime per week. 


According to the pre-trial conference statement her salary at the time of her injury was $625.48 per week.


From Ann Curry Interview:
(regarding receiving welfare)

Nadya Suleman: I'm not living off of any taxpayer money. If I am - if it's food stamps, it's a temporary resource. And - we - my family received maybe about a year and a half ago. And during school - and it's only for food.


From Medical Board Complaint against Dr. Kamrava:

Between January 2007 and July 2008, at the time Ms. Suleman admitted to receiving food stamps (above), she underwent 4 cycles of IVF.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From Worker's Compensation Appeal Board:

Initial injury report Presbyterian Intercommunity Hospital, Ms. Suleman told the emergency room doctor that she was going in for fertility treatments and wished not to have much radiation.

After the initial injury report there is no further mention of fertility treatments by any of the treating physicians or mental health professionals.  See above, during a QME while 5 months pregnant after IVF Ms. Suleman stated to the doctor that she had not been attempting to get pregnant.
 
On October 3, 2001 Ms. Suleman was 'rear-ended' while leaving her treating psychologist's office.  On October 8, 2001, she had an egg retrieval done by Dr. Kamrava.  On October 11, 2001, during examination by her treating orthopedic doctor, she informed him of the accident, noting increasing pain it the cervical spine.  On October 13, 2001, Dr Kamrava performed a successfull embryo transfer. 

During a hearing to extend her disability benefits in December 2001, Ms Suleman stated that due to the car accident, she had trouble walking around at home and her husband had to hire someone to help take care of her baby.  She admitted that the pregnancy had aggravated her back condition, but did not disclose that she had undergone fertility treatment around the time of the car accident and was again pregnant.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The birth certificates for the oldest 4 of Nadya Suleman's children list the father as the following:

Elijah - father David Solomon born California 3/25/1973

Amerah - father David Solomon born Israel 5/25/1975

Joshua - father David Solomon born California 6/25/1975

Aiden - father David Solomon born California 4/25/1973


Nadya Suleman married Marcos Gutierrez 8/15/1996

According to the Divorce records they separated January 2000
According to the Worker's Compesation Appeal Board Report they separated either May or June 2000 (both dates are listed in various doctor's reports), and that they reconciled 9/2001, but no date was given for subsequent separation.

According to the Callifornia Medical Board Complaint against Dr. Kamrava, Ms. Suleman's first fertility treatment with him was IUI (intra-uterine insemination) performed April 1997, about 8 months after her marriage to Marcos.  It is also noted that at the time, Ms. Suleman chose to be inseminated with donor sperm.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


In one of his reports during 2001, Dr Bloch refutes Dr Nehamen's assertion that Ms. Suleman's depression was due to her conflicting feeling regarding her pregnancy, specifically sighting a symptoms observed by Dr Nagelberg, her treating orthopedic doctor, stating that the examination, done on 10/26/2000 was 'before the patient even suspected that she might be pregnant.'  Dr. Bloch did not mention that Ms. Suleman had invitro fertilization, embryo transfers done on 9/3/2000, so would have been well aware that she was pregnant by 10/26/2000.

During his report of 10/3/2001, Dr Block states, speaking to Ms Suleman about her relationship with her estranged husband, Marcos, that "since their son's birth,  she and her husband began to make progress toward greater reconciliation, and he moved back into the family house about one month prior". From this statement, it appears Dr Bloch was under the impression that Elijah was Marcos' son.


Within all of the mental health reports, Ms Suleman asserted that her marriage to Marcos had been loving, giving and healthy until her injury, when she felt she had nothing to offer him anymore.  However, after the birth of the octuplets, when Denis Beaudoin claimed that he had dated, and was engaged to Ms. Suleman, and had donated sperm, Ms. Suleman's spokesperson issued a statement saying that although she had a relationship with Denis from 1997 to 1999, and that he had donated sperm for her intrauterine inseminations, they were not successful.  So, even though she was in a loving relationship with her husband from 1996, she had a relationship with another man, and chose to use his sperm for her fertility treatments at that time.

  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nadya Suleman has repeatedly claimed to have had a breast reduction.  Medical history report indicates positive for breast augmentation, January 2000 orthopedic evaluation from the Worker's Compensation report.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From Ann Curry Interview, asking why she had her children so close together:

Ann Curry: Why so quickly?

Nadya Suleman: Oh I was told, by a couple doctors, I had a timeframe, of how long I could have children.

From The Mirror (UK) interview:

I would not destroy any of the embryos and I had a limited time for reproduction.

Associate Content:

Later at the age of 33, Nadya's fertility specialist warns her that she has only a few years left to bear children due to the premature aging of her reproductive system.

Are you done having children?


February 2009: Ann Curry Interview:

Ann Curry: Are you done having children?

Nadya Suleman: 100 percent. 200, 300, 400 percent. Yes. I'm done. This happened for a reason. This is actually a message, I believe, from God saying, "You are done."

March 2009: Dr Phil Interview:

Dr Phil: Are you through having children?

Nadya: A bizillion percent, and that's not a number.  A trillion percent.



As time has gone on, despite the previous claims of having 'a limited time to reproduce':


December 2009: Radar OnLine Interview:

“In fact, I am a little worried that now  I will have no one to go to if I ever wanted to have more children."


February 2010: The View:

EH: Nadya, I just want to ask you: are you done? Is this it having kids for you. Are you done having kids?

NS: OH YES! Oh, yes, yes, yes. Oh absolutely. If someday far, far, far, far far in the future, when they're older, if you know, god willing, I meet somebody. ... I meet somebody...no, no...I don't want anymore alone...not alone...



August 12, 2010: 60 Minutes (Australia):

LH: I note that you haven't absolutely ruled out one more child.

NS: No, life isn't an absolute, I don't believe. You know, it isn't set in stone. I will not have another one on my own, but who knows in several years from now if that quarter of a percent out of 100, you know, extraordinary person I meet - you never know. I'm not thinking of that now. Today I say, "No, absolutely not." In five years, ask me the same question - maybe my life will be different.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Dr Phil interview, about getting pregnant again, not being able to afford her six older children under the circumstances:

Dr Phil: .. so a woman came to you and said "Okay, now Ms. Suleman, I'm a single mother and I have six children.  I can't feed them without government assistance and living off of borrowed money. And I'm staying with my mom right now.  And I haven't worked since 1999.  And I want to go back to school....

Nadya:  I could have worked.

Dr Phil: .. but I want to go...

Nadya:  I'm like rationalizing it.... I could have worked.

Dr Phil: .. but I want to go...

Nadya: But I wanted to be in school.

PERMITS? WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING PERMITS! (or do we?)


May 4, 2009, Gloria Allred filed a petition on behalf of Paul Petersen (a Minor Consideration) in Orange County Superior Court, seeking to have a financial guardian appointed on behalf of the octuplets.

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/05/local/me-octomom5

Jeff Czech, attorney for Nadya Suleman called the octuplets 'incidental' to Ms. Suleman's ability to attain income from media and entertainment.

http://www.examiner.com/x-2849-Denver-Foster-Parenting-Examiner~y2009m5d4-Suit-filed-to-protect-octuplets-earnings-assets

Under Ms. Suleman's contract with RadarOnLine, filming of the octuplets and the other children is specifically required, especially the homecoming of the final octuplet, along with the daily video journal. "..the Early Days Material shall include footage of all the octuplets, Nadya Suleman and her other children.."

On June 16, 2009, the California Department of Industrial Relations filed citations against RadarOnLine for, among other things, failure to obtain permit to employ minor children, and filming minors (Noah and Isaiah) without valid Entertainment Work Permits.

(scroll down to June 16, 2009 2:17 pm. Copy of ROL contract, plus labor board citations available):

http://insidesocal.com/octorazzi/2009/06/


RadarOnline officials had no comment but said on their website: "Like any other news-gathering organization, Radar-Online.com is not required to obtain permits nor is it restricted to certain hours in its news-gathering operations."

Labor Commissioner Bradstreet said their actions go "way, way beyond anything that could conceivably be imagined to be news."

http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/17/local/me-octuplets17

Permit to Employ Minors, and Entertainment Work Permits were subsequently issued on August 28, 2009 for all 14 children, for the Eyeworks documentary "My Life as the Octomom" that was aired in Britian, but has not yet aired in the United States.

https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D701241_910329_14845

Prior to the Permit to Employ, and Entertainment Work Permits, all the children were filmed repeatedly as part of the ongoing RadarOnLine contract with Ms. Suleman. Video tape, filmed without contract or permits for the children was subsequently provided to Fox for their special "Octomom: The Incredible Unseen Footage."
