Dr. Rixson ran the program and Elaine Wilson was the Head Nurse. For decades Elaine lived in Dartmouth, but now Elaine has dementia and is in long term care in her home town of St. Andrews, New Brunswick. I coincidentally became friends with Elaine and her partner in the past 13 years. Cathy ____ was the support nurse to the program. The program was primarily IUI (SELDOM IVF, and no frozen sperm) The egg harvest of RP moms (no egg donors at the time) was done with traditional treatment, so only a few healthy eggs per harvest, with insemination occurring before use or embryo freezing - solely for the RP mom from whom the eggs were harvested. With IUI, each cycle could be treated with one to three inseminations, so an elderly RP mom might require 20 or more cycles with 20 to 60+ inseminations using fresh sperm, ergo one patient insemination per donation. There was a spike in clinic RP moms from 1987 to June 1988 in anticipation of the increased costs and loss of in person screening for sperm donors, and so donors were requested to donate far more frequently than 1985-1986. As the clinic shut down its fresh sperm donor program, the cost of sperm dramatically increased from $25 and two couples in the program could not afford the increased cost. Since they had exposure to risks of fresh sperm already, they consented to continued treatment with fresh sperm and I was the only donor asked to continue for the last nine months to support these two couples. One couple either fell pregnant, or exited the program. The last couple may have fallen pregnant on the last cycle, but statistically more likely, they did not and the fresh sperm program was shut down entirely in March 1989 - much later than many other places in the world. There was no record of health risk with the fresh donor program, but there was safety failure with the frozen USA based sperm that was used post June 1988. None of the five fingers is the same. Donor open to contact. On 23&me and Ancestry. I made 8 donations in Toronto with a probable 1 child, but at most 2 children, with no donations at the Grace from Sept. 1986 to April 1987. My oldest child would have been born November 1985 (unless premature) and the last child would have been born December 1989 (if not late delivery). The Clinic tested my sperm on Sept. 1989 in keeping with updated testing standards resulting from Krever inquiry, six months after final permitted fresh sperm donations in Canada in March 1989 (thereafter all Atlantic Canadian DC sperm was sourced frozen from NYC or Denmark sperm banks).
