Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As the egg migrates down the fallopian tube, progesterone is released. It is secreted by a temporary gland formed within the ovary after ovulation called the corpus luteum. Progesterone prepares the body for pregnancy by causing the uterine lining to thicken.
Detailed explanation-2: -Progesterone helps to prepare the body for pregnancy by stimulating glandular development and the development of new blood vessels. This provides a good environment for implantation by a fertilized egg. If the egg isn’t fertilized, the corpus luteum breaks down, leading to a drop in progesterone levels.
