can stress cause your body not to produce hcg hormone?

Question

I read a weird article online that if you're stressed during pregnancy, it can cause you to get false negatives (because the baby is trying to "stay hidden" and therefore doesn't produce the hcg hormone) ... is this true??

Answer

No. Not true at all. If the baby is not producing enough hcg it's most likely going to end in miscarriage or there is most likely a problem with the developing placenta. In very rare cases the baby doesn't produce much hcg and end up being healthy.  But that's very rare. Typically when hcg isn't being produced that's a sign that there is a problem.

Answer

Babies don't produce hcg, your body does. 😒

Answer

No.

Answer

No. Not true at all.
