Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is only produced in the body during pregnancy and can be detected in a woman's urine. This is the hormone that over-the-counter pregnancy tests detect to determine if a woman is pregnant. Luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, progesterone, and estrogen are all hormones involved in the menstrual cycle and fertility, but do not reliably indicate pregnancy.
