Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Pregnancy tests assay for human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg has implanted in the uterus. This hormone can be detected in urine and blood samples and is a reliable indicator of pregnancy. LH and FSH are hormones involved in the regulation of the reproductive system, while estrogen and progesterone are important for menstrual cycle regulation and maintaining pregnancy, but are not as reliable indicators of early pregnancy.
