During pregnancy, the body initially produces human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to support the developing embryo. hCG levels typically peak around 8 to 11 weeks of pregnancy and then gradually decline. By the second trimester, the placenta takes over hormone production, and hCG levels stabilize at lower concentrations. While hCG does not stop entirely, its role diminishes as the pregnancy progresses.
