High chorionic gonadotropin values are not related to the sex of the fetus. Chorionic gonadotropin is secreted by the cells of the syncytial trophoblast of the gestational sac after the fertilized egg has been laid. This hormone mainly protects the gestational sac from attacks by the maternal immune system. Its high value is not a problem as long as it is within the normal range. The value of chorionic gonadotropin can vary a lot depending on the time of pregnancy, as can be seen in the relationship between the time of pregnancy and chorionic gonadotropin. If the values are severely over the limit, you also need to be alert to the presence of twin pregnancies or chylothorax. The sex of the fetus is determined at the moment of fertilization of the sperm and the egg and is not related to the chorionic gonadotropin level.
