The Doctor
Nadya revealed to the reporter, “I was the classic victim, a victim of having an alcoholic father, a victim of having been an only child, hungry to fill that void and victim of fate since I couldn’t conceive naturally.” She added, “Most of all, I was misled by my doctor.” According to Nadya, she originally just wanted twins, but she had this to say about Dr. Kamrava, her doctor: “He told me we lost six embryos, he said they were expelled out of me, and that’s why he wanted to implant another six.” In other interviews, on the other hand, her doctor claimed it was Nadya who had pressured him into doing multiple rounds of implants. Whatever the case was, the US medical license of the Iranian national Dr. Kamrava was revoked in 2011 and soon after, he left the country.

Funding The IVF
The reporter turned the spotlight to Nadya again and asked how she could afford to have several rounds of IVF. She explained that she had a degree in child development, which allowed her to work at a state mental hospital. She worked there for three years but she suffered an injury on the job, which resulted in more than $80,000 in disability payments. In addition, she received a family inheritance of $60,000. All the money she got helped fund the expensive IVF treatments.
