Pregnancy Hormone Levels should be Considered

Pregnancy hormone levels should be considered, at the time of pregnancy, a pregnant woman's body will form a lot of hormones that are beneficial for the development and safety of the fetus in the womb. One of the beneficial hormones is the hormone HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Keep in mind that these hormones that cause a pregnant woman often experience nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.

HCG hormone is formed in the early fetal growth. This hormone is produced by the outer layer of tissue that surrounds the fetus and placenta. The function of HCG hormone is to maintain the existing yellow tissue in the ovaries. This network is formed when the ovaries (ovarian) release eggs. The HCG hormone is what makes the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and placenta into perfect shape.

In addition, the HCG hormone is also useful to detect the pregnancy because HCG hormone will be formed after the fertilization process. Detect the pregnancy through the test of HCG hormone levels can be done through urine and blood. If using the urine, normally HCG hormone be detected 12-14 days after conception while if through the blood, HCG hormone will be detected 11 days after conception.

HCG hormone will increase by 2-fold every 72 hours and then will peak when the pregnancy reaches the age of 8-11 weeks and will decrease during the remainder of the pregnancy.
