How does the human body ensure that another pregnancy does not occur during embryonic and fetal development?
Select one:
a. High levels of estrogen
b. High levels of FSH
c. Low levels of LH
d. Low levels of oxytocin
I posted this before but have not heard from anyone. Please help me out, I do not fully understand this question nor do i even know if c is even correct or not. Thanks :)

Fetal development means a fertilized egg is already in the process of becoming a baby. The question is asking "How does the body ensure that only one pregnancy is occuring at a time?"
Luteinizing Hormone is produced and released by the pituitary gland and it triggers ovulation. When pregnancy occurs, LH levels are decreased to prevent ovulation and a (second) pregnancy. (No new egg = no new fertilization)
Very helpful if the body is already developing a baby!
