Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A pregnancy test measures a hormone in the body called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. It appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is hCG? hCG is a hormone produced by your placenta when you are pregnant. It appears shortly after the embryo attaches to the wall of the uterus. If you are pregnant, this hormone increases very rapidly. If you have a 28 day menstrual cycle, you can detect hCG in your urine 12-15 days after ovulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hCG urine test is a qualitative test, which means that it will tell you whether or not it detects the hCG hormone in your urine. It’s not intended to reveal specific levels of the hormone. The presence of hCG in your urine is considered a positive sign of pregnancy.

Detailed explanation-4: -An HCG pregnancy test checks human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) levels in the blood or urine. HCG tests determine if a person is pregnant. HCG tests can also determine if a person’s body is producing the correct levels of certain pregnancy-related hormones.
