Pregnancy Test Kit

How does pregnancy test kit detect hCG?

The process of conception generally takes place in the fallopian tube where the sperm fertilizes the egg. Once the egg is fertilized it reaches the uterus in 9 days and gets implanted with the uterus lining. This uterus then starts releasing the hCG in the blood of the pregnant women. This hCG also passes through the urine of the pregnant women which is detected through the pregnancy test kit or the laboratories.

This hCG is the hormone that is released by the cells of the placenta to develop the fetus. This hormone after being released into the blood comes to the kidney for the filtration and then it is passed as a waste to the urine hence this hormone can be detected in the urine. But this hormone does not immediately get detected just after conception. It takes almost 9 to 10 days to release.
