Detailed explanation-1: -Reproductive hormones are usually made in the ovaries (in females) and testes (in males). Female reproductive hormones include estrogen and progesterone. They help develop and maintain female sex characteristics and play an important role in fertility, pregnancy, and the menstrual cycle.
