Progesterone secreted from corpus luteum, prepares uterine endometrium for receiving blastocysts for implementation. Progesterone is also called pregnancy hormone and anti- FSH and anti- LH. It maintains pregnancy and prevents formation of new follicles and ovulation during gestation period. If pregnancy has not occurred, corpus luteum degenerates and next menstrual cycle is repeated.
