Around 12 weeks. This is why 12 weeks is said to be such a crucial time in pregnancy. Once a woman passes the 12 week mark the possibility of miscarriage decreases drastically. It's important that the placenta be able to take over hormone production at that time.

If you take a pregnecy text and its says your pregnant does it mean your actually pregnant?
In most of the cases. Not in 100 % cases. This test look for H.C.G. hormone in the urine. This hormone is usually produced by placenta. But there may be a tumor producing this hormone. You have to go for ultrasound examination for confirmation of the pregnancy.
What is egg sac that secretes hormone after release of ovum?
The ruptured follicle on the ovary is called the Corpus Luteum. It acts as a temporary endocrine gland and secretes estrogen and progesterone. If the egg is fertilized and implantation occurs, the trophoblast cells of the blastocyst secrete the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin . The forming placenta will take over progesterone production. Occasionally the Corpus Luteum will fill with fluid and cause a cyst. It can be uncomfortable and even painful as the cyst eventually bursts. Repeated cysts can cause scar tissue and is often called Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome or PCOS.
What you do your cow have small piece of placenta what you do?
Keep an eye on the cow - if she starts getting sick (running a fever, off feed, dehydrated or decreased milk production) call your veterinarian immediately and tell him the placenta may be retained. Otherwise, some cows take up to 7 days to completely clear the placenta. The important part is don't pull on the placenta hanging out of the vulva. Ripping the placenta makes it more likely a piece will end up left inside where it will rot and cause infection and problems.

Why do levels of human growth hormone rise during adolescence?
because cabbages will take over the world :)
What Thyroid condition if you take levothyroxine?
If you take levothyroxine you are taking thyroid hormone. The primary reason for taking thyroid hormone is to supplement or replace that which your own thyroid makes. Low thyroid hormone is known as hypothyroidism. Some physicians also prescribe levothyroxine if you have antithyroid antibodies. This condition is known as Hashitmoto's thyroiditis. The intent is to suppress your own body's production of thyroid hormone because this minimizes the attack of the immune system against the thyroid.
Which hormone is associated with the maintenance of the placenta?
There are a number of different hormones involved in pregnancy, and I will outline the main hormones and their purposes below:Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin - this is involved in the maintanence of the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone and oestrogen during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, after which the placenta takes over production of these hormones. This hormone is secreted by the chorion/placenta.Oestrogen - initially secreted by the corpus luteum up to 12 weeks, after which placenta takes over secretion of this hormone.Oestrogen inhibits the hormones FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) and LH ( Lutenising hormone), both of which are involved in the process of ovulation in a menstruating woman. During pregnancy, menstruation must stop, and so Oestrogen inhibits these 2 hormones. It also acts on the uterus, causing growth of the uterus and increasing the sensitivity of the uterus to the hormone oxytocin which is involved in the processes of birth and lactation. It also inhibits the hormone prolactin, and thus inhibits lactation during pregnancy. However, it stimulates the development of the ductal system in the breasts in preparation for lactation after the baby has been born. Causes a softening and relaxing of the ligament of the pelvic girdle.Progesterone - again this is initially secreted by the corpus luteum, and later by the placenta. It stimulates the development of milk glands, and also inhibits the secretion of prolactin ( in order to stop lactation) and also inhibits FSH and LH. It stimulates growth and glandular activity of the uterus. It is essential for successful implantation and maintainence of the endometrium, stimulates endometrial glands to secrete nutrients taken up by the developing embryo and slightl supresses the mother's immune system so the foetus is not rejected. As a steroid hormone, it is transferred to the fetus and used by the fetus for production of fetal hormones by the fetal adrenals. It also quitens muscular contractions of the uterus to prevent premature expulsion of the fetus, causes mammary glands to develop and enhances their ability to produce milk.Human placental lactogen - hormone made in the placenta which gives foetus priority over maternal glucose and fatty acids. Also known as Human Chorionic Somatomammotrophin.Prolactin - secreted by the maternal anterior lobe of pituitary gland, it is essential for expression of oestrogen and progesterone on the mammary glands. Having said that, oestrogen (and progesterone) inhibits lactation until birth. When levels of Oestrogen and Progesterone then decrease after birth, prolactin can exert its effects fully and lactation can take place.Relaxin - Causes the relaxation of ligaments, softens the cervix and inhibits muscle contractions.
What does HCG diet mean?
HCG stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin which is a hormone produced by the placenta during pregnancy. The HCG diet requires you to take a drops of the hormone under your tongue or take a shot to trick the body into thinking it's pregnant thus promoting weight loss in men and women. Here's a link with more information. http://health.howstuffworks.com/wellness/diet-fitness/diets/hcg-diet3.htm
Is it dangerous if placenta does not come out?
If the placenta does not come out then the doctor has to inject you with hormones to help you pass it out. If that still doesn't work then the doctor has to manually take it out, because if the placenta stays inside of you, it poses a health risk to the mother.
Can you have second baby at 33 when your other pregnancy was a placenta abruption Would they take it for my benefit?
Yes you can have another baby, it depends on what they think caused the abruptio placenta. Cocaine and trauma can both cause this, but sometimes there is no explanation. The risk is greater if the placenta is covering the opening to the uterus, placenta previa.
Can you eat your placenta?
You can absolutely eat your placenta. Even better, you can sometimes find people who will dehydrate and encapsulate your placenta so you can take it in pill form. It is a wonderful way to return nutrients to your body and stabilize post partum hormones. Just tell the nurses beforehand that you want your placenta saved!!
Does an umbilical artery carry oxygen?
No, Umbilical arteries take deoxygenated blood from the fetus to the placenta, it is the umbilical vein carries the oxygenated blood from the placenta to the futus.
