How do increased levels of estrogen and progesterone appear to affect the level of fsh?
Increased levels of estrogen and progesterone typically lead to a negative feedback effect on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, resulting in reduced secretion of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH). This mechanism helps regulate the menstrual cycle and maintain hormonal balance. As estrogen and progesterone rise, FSH levels decrease to prevent overstimulation of ovarian follicles and to control the overall reproductive process.
How the level of a hormone which prevents menstruation remains high during pregnancy even after the corpus luteum has broken down?
Progesterone is the hormone that prevents menstruation and maintain pregnancy. It is initially produced by the corpus luteum. After the corpus luteum has broken down, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone from the 8th week of pregnancy until birth. Therefore, it is the placenta which keeps the level of the hormone (progesterone) high throughout pregnancy.
