In excreted urine, a reliable "marker" that a pregnancy has initiated is ________.

Answer 1

In excreted urine, a reliable "marker" that a pregnancy has initiated is human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).

What is human chorionic gonadotropin?

• The trophoblast cells that surround a developing embryo.
• Eventually give rise to the placenta after implantation generate the hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin, which helps women recognize pregnancy.
• Some pregnancy tests can detect the HCG's presence.
• The placenta secretes a hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin throughout pregnancy (HCG).
• It tells the body to stop menstruation and makes the uterine lining thicker to support an embryo in development.
• After fertilization, HCG levels increase and stay elevated for another 10 weeks or more of pregnancy.
• As accurate as blood tests are urine testing.
• An individual is pregnant if their HCG level is high.
• An individual is not pregnant if a qualitative HCG test is negative.
• After a few days, a person should repeat the test if they still believe they are pregnant.
