It's secreted by the chorion of the fetus and targets the corpus luteum which, under the influence of hCG, persists longer than the ~2 weeks it normally lasts.
The effect of hCG on the corpus luteum is prolongation of this temporary emndocrine gland's secretory phase, which guarantees that progesterone, the hormone of pregnancy, lasts until the placenta (a tissue made by the embryo and derived from the chorion) is sufficiently developed to take over the job of secreting progesterone.
Without progesterone, the uterus is unable to sustain a pregnancy. Thus, hCG facilitates the vital relay between the corpus luteum and the placenta in their joint (but temporally separated) function of progesterone secretion.
"During menstruation the HCG is already being made by the body" No, it's not. HCG is produced by the tropoblasts within several days after implantation of the fertilized egg.
HCG is a glycoprotein hormone produced during pregnancy that is made by the developing embryo after conception and later by the syncytiotrophoblast.
When a human female is pregnant, she starts to generate a hormone called hCG (human choriogonadotropin). It is specific to a pregnant female as it is made in the placenta, and it is excreted in the urine. Most labs will run an hCG test on all urine samples as part of the standard urinalysis.
No. Fertility tests are made to detect FSH not hCG. You will need to buy an actual home pregnancy test or see your Dr.
No. Birth control is made with estrogen and progesterone hormones. The pregnancy tests look for HCG, a completely different hormone. If you have enough HCG in your system, it will show on the test, regardless of how much or how little estrogen or progesterone you have inside your system.
