Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.....That's what you call it! This is a glycoprotrein hormone produced in pregnant women....Amazing how it is produced right after conception by the embryo, huh??? Without even feeling a thing. HCG or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is produced by cells which form the placenta...hmmm... You do know where we are going, with this, right???? The doctor asking the lady in a worried way while she sits down, all confused and scared - what this all means and what the doctor may say.....But! To her surprise, she was congratulated with a friendly hug from the doctor while he says "You are now a mother...Congratulations!" The lady who just came in for a regular check up, went home with mixed emotions of happines, nervousness and excitement...
On her way home, she thought of ways on how to announce the great news to her family, friends and of course the future father of her baby. As she entered their front door with a big smile on her face, she immediately called for her husband and found him sitting on the couch with a can of coke in his right hand and a bag of chips on his lap while he watches the basketball game.... She then sits on his lap, giving him funny smiles as her husband looks at her with confusion... She says "It's the hCG love!" The husband still stuck in confusion, wondered....what in the world is hCG???? Is it a prize she won or something??? But then he figured, if she went out to play binggo or something, she would have taken him along.......
She then says wearing that big smile of hers, "We're having a baby!" The husband so speechless and filled with joy just said "WHAT???! Why didn't you just say that! instead of all that hCG thingy...." The wife stuttering because of so much excitement and joy just laughed at him and pulled out the pregnancy test kit with the positive results.... This is the hCG thingy I was saying... Hmmm, well not the exact thing but this is it! It's all in here!
"HCG was detected through my urine.... It is actually detectable around the 11th day after conception and increases untill the 8th to 12th week of pregnancy. That is actually its peak and it will really show strong results....So with the color of the results, our baby may actually be around its 11th week right now...... well... thats what the doctor said.... =)" says the wife..

"It's so amazing how they made these test kits to work with this hCG stuff just to find out if I have someone living so far down, deep into my own Atlantic ocean.... my tummy.... hehe.... Imagine how this test makes the colored anti-hCG-colloidal conjugate complexes to the hCG found in my urine.... Wherein if I am found to be a mommy, the color would appear as pink.... Like this one! So simple and complex the same time..... =)"
Since that very day, the couples took regular check ups to make sure it is not another one of those false alarms because it was also known that hCG may also be found in the presence of hydatidiform moles, miscarriages, even ectopic pregnancies which may also give the same result.....positive.....
