Progesterone also known as P4(pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) is a C-21 steroid hormone involved in the female menstrual cycle, pregnancy (supports gestation) and embryogenesis of humans and other species. Progesterone belongs to a class of hormones called progestogens, and is the major naturally occurring human progestogen.

What gland is responsible for initiating menstrual cycle?
Oestrogen & Progesterone are produced by the Ovaries. Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) & Lutenizing Hormone (LH) are produced by the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. FSH and LH control and stimulate the unripe eggs inthe ovaries to ripen and be released. Oestrogen & progesterone stimulate the formation of the endometrium lining in the womb, and by reducing in levels ultimatly casue the breakdown of the lining, and the ensuing period know as menstruation in human females
What is the role of progesterone in mammary glands?
I Know that progesterone causes breast development, and the more progesterone, the larget breasts. I also know that after firtilization occurs, the follicle produces high levels of progesterone. So, I do believe that progesterone also causes the mamory glands to produce milk several months into pregnancy.

estrogen

What would happen if a hormone receptor did not bind to the right site?
I'm assuming you're asking what would happen if a receptor did not bind the proper hormone. The answer is a complex one because binding to a receptor does not necessarily mean that the receptor will be activated. Sometimes binding causes receptor inhibition; other times it can mean that the properties of the receptor change so that other hormones have an easier/harder time binding and activating it. But for the sake of giving an answer, let's say that we want to know what happens if a hormone binds and activates the wrong receptor. That answer is a relatively simple one: in most cases, the same events would take place that normally happen when the correct hormone binds the receptor. Let's take an example of a relatively uncommon cause of hypertension called hypertension exacerbated in pregnancy. In this condition, there's a mutation in the receptor for the hormone aldosterone that allows other hormones besides aldosterone (eg, progesterone) to bind it and activate it. When progesterone levels are high, as in pregnancy, the extra progesterone binds and heavily activates the aldosterone receptor, and the receptor essentially "thinks" that aldosterone has bound. So the action of progesterone at the aldosterone receptor are the same as aldosterone itself; since aldosterone is a major contributor to blood pressure, blood pressure increases to very high levels.
Why is the uterus lining not shed if a woman becomes pregnant?
i don't know. can you tell me. Actual answer> The follicle or polar cells (3 unwanted cells from miosis) detach from the ovum (egg) which is ovulation. The follicle then becomes the corpus luteum which produces the hormone progesterone, this maintains the uterus lining preventing it from being shed.
Why do women test their urine to see if they are pregnant?
A woman's body secretes a hormone while pregnant which can usually be detected on a home pregnancy test a week or two after implantation (a woman's body doesn't know it's pregnant until implantation and therefore doesn't secete the hormone until that happens) of the fertilized egg (which is about a week after conception). The hormone is in the blood stream which is filtered by the kidneys which create urine. Therefore the hormone can be detected in urine.
