It's Conceivable: Hypnosis for Fertility
“I just know there is a baby there, I just know it.” These words are ever familiar to Board Certified Hypnotherapist and Instructor Lynsi Eastburn Edana Lynne was conceived naturally in 2003 after her mom underwent just one hypnotherapy session with Eastburn. Even after 11 years of infertility marked by dozens of medical procedures and drugs, Edie’s mom “knew there was a baby there.” Eastburn believed her. Today, 2-year-old Edie is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby sister due in November of 2006. “There’s more to it,” says Eastburn, referring to her clients’ fertility issues. “It’s not as simple as a physiological diagnosis—I’ve seen it over and over again. And oftentimes the diagnosis is ‘unexplained infertility’ which means they can find no cause at all. The issue(s) must be addressed holistically: mind/body/spirit.” That’s exactly what Eastburn does in her Colorado hypnosis clinic. The result: BABIES! Often after as few as one or two hypnosis sessions, women with diagnoses ranging from physiological impediments to unexplained infertility—including those told by top specialists that they would never have a baby of their own—are becoming pregnant. Naturally or utilizing hypnotherapeutic support in conjunction with Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART), these women’s dreams are coming true. This book chronicles some of Lynsi Eastburn’s actual fertility clients, sharing their stories from walking into her clinic with an infertility diagnosis to successful conception/birth. Find out how this powerful process has worked to help couples become parents, and how it can work for you..

Sex in an Age of Technological Reproduction: ICSI and Taboos
Carl Djerassi is one of “the fathers of the Pill”—he was awarded the National Medal of Science for the first synthesis of a steroid oral contraceptive—and has had a prolific additional career as a writer of fiction, plays, and dialogues about science. In these two plays, ICSI and Taboos, he dramatizes the social transformations and contested viewpoints created by advances in reproductive science and technology. Two of the most startling developments in contemporary science have radically disrupted the historical connection between sex and reproduction: in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)—an assisted reproductive technique that directly injects a single sperm into an egg. The word play ICSI—designed for classroom readings—presents, in the format of a contentious talk-show dialogue, the science of direct-injection fertilization and the ethical issues connected with it. A DVD included in the book provides video of the ICSI injection process as viewed through a microscope, to be used in performances of the ICSI one-act dialogue. Taboos, a full-length play,turns the screws on characters that reflect a polarized America. Two couples—lesbian partners and a conservative husband and wife struggling with infertility—must make choices in a drama that examines the disjunction of sexual reproduction and the physical act of sex. .
