Pregnancy Information

---

In pregnancy, your body goes through many changes. Some common symptoms include:

A late or missed period

Mild cramping

Nausea

Breast Tenderness

Frequent urination

Tiredness

Mood swings

Pregnancy tests check for a hormone called hCG that is produced by the developing placenta during pregnancy.

The longer you wait to take the test, the more accurate it becomes. It is best to wait until your first missed period before you take a pregnancy test. You can test sooner, but you may need to take a confirming pregnancy test later.

We provide a laboratory quality urine test free of charge. In a normal pregnancy, hCG can be detected in the urine as early as 7-10 days after conception.

Your appointment takes approximately 45 minutes. A morning urine specimen is not needed for an accurate test result.

Are your pregnancy tests accurate?

LC pregnancy tests are accurate and are the same medical-grade tests used in the emergency room and doctor’s office. Pregnancy can be detected under normal circumstances within 7-10 days after conception.

We offer free Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound to our clients who have had a positive pregnancy test performed in any one of our centers.
The purpose of the limited ultrasound is to:

• Confirm Pregnancy.
• Determine if the pregnancy is viable.
• Measure the gestational age of the fetus.

A viable pregnancy occurs when the fetus is in the uterus, and a heartbeat is observed by a trained medical professional. It is not used for diagnosis of birth defects/complications or determining the sex (gender) of the child.

Free ultrasounds are done on positive pregnancy test clients. 

There is a lot to think about, and this is a time to gather all the information you can, and be fully informed and educated about all your choices.

Women can feel trapped and vulnerable.
