After ovulation occurs, LH causes the burst follicle to develop into a small yellow structure in the ovary called the corpus luteum, which secretes the hormones estrogen and progesterone. These hormones are at at their peak level during the secretory phase, and they prepare the endometrium to sec...
Once the egg is released, LH continues to impact the cellular structure of the former follicle. Before ovulation, granulosa and theca cells in the follicle produce estrogen. After ovulation, LH triggers these cells to transform into the corpus luteum and they begin to release the hormone progeste...

After ovulation the remaining follicle undergoes striking changes resulting in the formation of the corpus luteum, which secretes a large amount of P and, to a lesser extent, E 2 . Accordingly, healthy young women exhibit different gonadal hormone milieus during the normal menstrual cycle, and ...

-Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG): This hormone is secreted in large amounts during early pregnancy and is essential for maintaining the corpus luteum. -Prolactin: This hormone is not secreted by the placenta; it is produced by the anterior pituitary gland and is primarily involved in milk pro...
