hormone produced during pregnancy, detected in pregnancy tests

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced during pregnancy by the placenta after implantation. It is commonly used in pregnancy tests to confirm pregnancy, as its levels rise significantly in early pregnancy. Additionally, hCG can be used in fertility treatments and has roles in regulating the production of other hormones like progesterone.
