    hormone produced during pregnancy, detected in pregnancy tests

    Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta after implantation.

Additionally, hCG can be used in fertility treatments and has roles in regulating the production of other hormones like progesterone.
