Haan, pregnancy hormone, that's HCG. It's what those home pregnancy tests check for. Bas itna hi pata hai, kaam ki cheez hai ye.

The main one often referred to is Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG). It's crucial for maintaining the pregnancy initially. For specific details about your health and pregnancy, always consult with your gynecologist.

Is it human chorionic gonadotropin, HCG? I heard about it. Does it cause all the early symptoms too? Like the nausea and tiredness? Just wondering if everyone feels the same during early pregnancy because of this hormone.
