Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Home pregnancy tests detect the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in a woman's urine sample, which is produced by the placenta after a fertilized egg is implanted in the uterus. This hormone can usually be detected in a woman's urine around the time of her missed period, indicating that she is likely pregnant. Oxytocin, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and progestin are not hormones typically used to detect pregnancy.
