ProDetect® hCG Pregnancy Rapid Test is a rapid pregnancy test. It detects the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which appears in urine during early pregnancy. The egg is normally fertilized by a sperm cell in the fallopian tube. Within 9 days the fertilized egg moves down the fallopian tube into the uterus and then it attaches (implants) to the wall of the uterus. After the fertilized egg implants, the growing placenta starts releasing hCG into your blood. Some hCG also gets passed in your urine. HCG can be found in the blood before the first missed menstrual period. This can be as early as 6 days after the egg implants. HCG helps to keep your pregnancy going. It also affects the development of the baby (fetus). Levels of hCG go up fast in the first 14 to 16 weeks after the last menstrual period. They are the highest around the 14th week following the last period, after which they go down gradually. The level of hCG early in the pregnancy can give information about the pregnancy and the health of the baby. Soon after delivery, hCG can no longer be found in the blood.
