Tag Archives: Human chorionic gonadotropin

The hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin or better known as hCG is produced by a female during pregnancy and is created by the cells developed in the placenta. The placenta cultivates the egg after being fertilized so it can easily attach to your uterine walls; this can actually better support your pregnancy since the production of progesterone is allowed, helping the uterus’ lining prepare for the egg’s implantation. The human chorionic gonadotropin is made up of cells that entirely make up the placenta that supplies nutrition to the egg right after it goes through fertilization then attaches itself to the uterine walls.
