Am I Pregnant?
The first step in confirming whether or not you are pregnant is to take a pregnancy test. If the result is positive, an ultrasound exam should then be done to determine how far along you are in your pregnancy and to verify the viability of the pregnancy.
LC Clinic offers free in-office pregnancy tests and ultrasound exams with immediate results. Whether you are pregnant or not, you will be provided with compassionate care and the help you need.
Pregnancy Signs
There are many signs of a possible pregnancy - including nausea, feeling tired, tenderness of the breasts, and frequent urination. However, not everyone experiences these symptoms when pregnant. Due to other health conditions (some serious), it is also possible to miss a period and have symptoms, but NOT be pregnant.
The only way to be sure is to take a pregnancy test and receive a confirmation ultrasound. LC Clinic provides free appointments that are safe and confidential.
Many early pregnancy symptoms—such as fatigue, nausea, missed periods, and breast tenderness—can also have other causes.
The only way to know for sure is to take a pregnancy test.

How Accurate is the Test?
Our tests are laboratory rated. Urine-based pregnancy tests detect the hCG hormone in a pregnant woman’s system. Since the production of hCG can vary greatly from woman to woman, time periods when a “positive” test occurs can also vary. Our pregnancy tests can often detect some women’s hCG level as early as 7 days after conception (21-24 days after the first day of your last period), although some women’s hCG level is not detectable until at least one week after a missed period.

Up to 1 in 5 known pregnancies end in a miscarriage.
An ultrasound can determine if the pregnancy is viable and progressing normally.

Free Limited Obstetrical Ultrasound
If you have had a positive pregnancy test, it is important to have the test confirmed with an ultrasound exam. Making an informed decision means getting the most accurate information you can.
In addition to confirming the pregnancy test, if you are a candidate for the free limited ultrasound, the results will help you answer the following questions:
- Is the pregnancy located where it should be (in the uterus and not in the fallopian tube)?
- Approximately how far along in the pregnancy are you?
- Do we see what we would expect to see in an early pregnancy? (The miscarriage rate in early pregnancy is about 1 in 5.)
If you are considering an abortion, it's important to get an ultrasound exam. The ultrasound will help determine what risks you would be facing by terminating the pregnancy. We can help with this crucial step.
An ultrasound in early pregnancy could be crucial to your health and your future.
Our confirmation ultrasounds are performed by medically-trained professionals under the supervision of our Medical Director. Our ultrasounds are non-diagnostic in nature, but can let you know approximately how many weeks you are into your pregnancy, and if your pregnancy is viable. This free ultrasound will help you know if a “decision” even needs to be made! But if you ARE pregnant, you DO have choices! LC Clinic will provide medically accurate facts to help you make a fully informed decision.
The ultrasound is scheduled after an initial pregnancy test appointment. We offer ultrasounds for women beginning at 6 weeks pregnant.
