Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) levels in pregnant women can also be detected using ultrasound or magnetic resonance.


Human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) is a hormone produced by trophoblasts that surround a developing egg, which in turn forms the early placenta upon implantation into the mother's uterus. The presence of hCG is detected on some pregnancy tests carried out by most women who are nearing their due date. It is also possible to measure the hormone in the urine of an expecting mother.


The level of hCG can vary considerably from one woman to the next. The main function of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is to trigger the release of the luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulates the production of pregnant eggs in the ovary. An increased level of this hormone is found in women who are having early pregnancy.
