LOS ANGELES — Dr. Vicken Sahakian helped 67-year-old retired Spanish department store clerk Carmela Bousada make history by becoming the world’s oldest new mother. But he isn’t celebrating. 

“Congratulations? It was unintentionally successful,” Sahakian, who runs a fertility clinic in Westwood Village, told the Los Angeles Times. 

He said he was tricked into helping the woman become pregnant.

“She lied to me. She falsified records, knowing my cutoff for single women is 55… I don’t think the last chapter has been closed, either. She could die 10 years from now. What will happen to the children?”

Bousada gave birth to twin boys Dec. 29 in Barcelona. Over the weekend, the single mother admitted to European reporters that she had deceived Sahakian in order to become pregnant.

The birth of 3-pound, 7-ounce Pau and 3-pound, 5-ounce Christian — both premature — is roiling the world of fertility medicine and raising the question: How old is too old?

Bousada told London’s News of the World newspaper in an interview published Sunday that age shouldn’t be a barrier to becoming a new mother.

“Everyone has to have children at the right time for them. This was the right time for me,” she said. “It was something I’ve always dreamed of.”

Bousada is living with her infant sons in a one-bedroom apartment after selling her home for about $60,000 to pay the cost of traveling to the United States and in-vitro fertilization, according to the British press. Her Pacific Fertility medical costs came to about $10,000 in doctor fees, plus $30,000 for the egg donation, The Times reported.
