The menstrual cycle of human is generally divided into three phases namely proliferative (follicular), ovulatory and secretory (luteal) phase. The secretory phase occurs between ovulation and onset of menses, i.e., the phase lasts about 14 days. The luteinizing hormone secreted from anterior lobe of pituitary causes ovulation.

Select the correct option describing gonadotropin activity in a normal pergnant female
High level of FSH and LH stimulates the thickening of endometrium
High level of FSH and LH facilitate implantation of the embryo
High level of hCG stimulates the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone
High level of hCG stimulates the synthesis of estrogen and progesterone
In a normal pregnant woman, the amount of total gonadotropin activity was assessed. The result expected was
High level of circulating FSH and LH in the uterus to stimulate implantation of the embryo
High level of circulating HCG to stimulate endometrial thickening
High levels of FSH and LH in uterus to stimulate endometrial thickening
High levels of FSH and LH in uterus to stimulate endometrial thickening
