Human chorionic gonadotropin promotes the maintenance of the corpus luteum (a space where the ovary was) during the beginning of pregnancy. The corpus luteum secretes the hormone progesterone during the first trimester. Progesterone encourages the uterus to form a thick lining of blood vessels and capillaries so that it can sustain the growing fetus.

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.
