Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) maintains the corpus luteum, crucial for progesterone production in early pregnancy. Placental hormones regulate fetal growth and maternal adaptations.
HCG supports early pregnancy by signaling the corpus luteum to produce estrogen and progesterone, essential for the uterine lining. Placental hormones help adapt maternal metabolism and immune tolerance.
