How does pregnancy test kit detect hCG?

The sperm fertilizes the egg in the fallopian tube, which is where most conceptions take place. The fertilized egg takes 9 days to enter the uterus and is implanted with the uterus lining. The uterus then begins to release hCG into the pregnant woman’s bloodstream. This hCG can also be discovered in pregnant women’s urine, which can be done using a pregnancy test kit or in a lab.

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.
