Answer:

continues progesterone production by corpus luteum

Step-by-step explanation:

hCG is the acronym for human chorionic gonadotropin hormone. This is a pregnancy-specific hormone that is incredibly important to women who are pregnant, but it doesn't matter much to those who aren't. HCG is the hormone responsible for all the early symptoms of pregnancy, which causes millions of women around the world to wonder if they are pregnant or not, many of them even before having a pregnancy test. Breast tenderness, feeling a little emotional (sensitive), nausea and fatigue, all these symptoms are due to hCG in the body. The main function of this hormone is to continue the progesterone production by the corpus luteum.
