Human chorionic gonadotropin[1], or hCG, is a hormone produced during pregnancy in the cells of the placenta. Especially in early pregnancy, the amount of hCG present in the parents body rises rapidly[2]. It is the hormone detected in the urine by at-home pregnancy tests[3].

Along with monitoring and further testing when needed, hCG levels are especially helpful in determining whether the pregnancy is progressing normally, is at risk for a miscarriage, or is showing signs of other complications.
