Six women over 55 'being considered for fertility treatment'

Six women over the age of 55 have approached a fertility clinic for help to have a child, it has been disclosed.

Two of the women, who are all being considered for treatment by the London Women’s Clinic, are 58 years of age.

Last month the clinic was at the centre of controversy when doctors held a consultation with Susan Tollefsen, 59, a retired special needs teacher.

Since then six women in their mid to late 50s have contacted the clinic for treatment.

The London Women’s Clinic said that the women would have gone abroad in the past but now there was a chance that they would be treated in Britain.
