Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone produced naturally during pregnancy, and it plays a crucial role in supporting the uterus and the early stages of gestation. Scientifically, hCG has been shown to maintain the corpus luteum in the ovary, which is responsible for continued production of progesterone during the first trimester. Progesterone is essential for maintaining the uterine lining (endometrium), thereby supporting implantation and early pregnancy. Clinically, exogenous hCG is sometimes used in assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) to trigger ovulation and support luteal phase function, especially in women who may have luteal phase defects or are undergoing fertility treatments. The use of hCG for these indications is backed by multiple clinical studies, and it is approved by regulatory agencies for certain infertility treatments. However, hCG is not typically used outside of these specific reproductive or fertility contexts to "support the uterus" in the general population. Its role is well-validated in supporting uterine function during the early stages of pregnancy or assisted conception, but not as a general supplement for uterine health.
