condition is characterized by typical signs and
symptoms of pregnancy BUT WILL NOT produce a positive result in the test.
Pseudocyesis (false/phantom pregnancy)
T or F
certain medical conditions may cause hormone production leading to an
error with the pregnancy test.
Examples are:
○ urinary tract infection
○ kidney disease
○ ovarian cyst (corpus luteum)
○ cancer (ovarian or thyroid, testicular for males)
○ pituitary conditions
○ enterocystoplasty (medical procedure for urological malformations

such as but not limited to:

T or F
pregnancy test kits are not fool-proof and may lead to inaccurate results due to the following human errors
T
this happens when the fertilized egg gets stuck in the fallopian tube.
Even though this pregnancy will not continue to a normal pregnancy, the embryo will still
produce hCG.
Ectopic Pregnancy
hCG can remain in the blood or urine until 6 weeks
following the end of pregnancy. For a spontaneous event, some pregnancy related tissues
would remain causing hCG to be elevated.
Recent Miscarriage or abortion
occurs when the fertilized egg or embryo is unable to implant, or grow.
Chemical Pregnancy
T or F
Many over the counter pregnancy tests have a high sensitivity and will be positive around
the time of the missed menstrual cycle. However, there are certain factors that may produce either a
false positive (positive in the test, but not pregnant) or negative (negative in the test but pregnant)
result

T or False
HCG - from first trimester it increases up to Third Trimester
false

T or F
both estrogen and progesterone will decrease from 1st trimester up to 3rd Trimester
False
estrogen and progesterone will INCREASE
T or F
1st Trimester
HCG is released in the placenta

True
T or F
in 3rd Trimester
All of the hormones is secreted by the placenta
True
T or F
HCG is released in placenta
e and p are both released in placenta and ovary
True
produces by corpus luteum
Progesterone
produced by ovary
Estrogen
s secreted and travels in the blood to the maternal
ovary causing the corpus luteum to remain functional throughout pregnancy.
● The secretion of hCG begins shortly after implantation, increases rapidly, and reaches a peak
about 8 to 9 weeks after fertilization.
