Once the egg is fertilized and implants in the wall of your uterus, your body will start producing human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). HCG is the hormone pregnancy tests read to tell you if you are pregnant. It can detect them once they get to a high enough level.

Your baby’s chromosomes are already deciding what their hair color, eye color and gender are going to be.
