Hi
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced by placenta once an embryo implants in the uterus.This hormone makes the body to continue to produce progesterone, which prevents menstruation from occurring. This protects the endometrial uterine lining and maintains pregnancy.
A pregnancy test can detect hCG in your urine if your levels are high enough it means you are pregnant.
Low levels of the hormone may occur in miscarriage,blighted ovum,ectopic pregnancy or when the gestational age is wrongly calculated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
