The corpus luteum produces progesterone during the time that the placenta is forming, about the first trimester. After the placenta is mature, it will continue to produce progesterone while the corpus luteum degenerates. Progesterone is an important pregnancy hormone. Pregnancy cannot continue without it.

Does the corpus albicans secrete the hormone relaxin?
No, the corpus luteum secretes the hormone relaxin. Relaxin is a hormone produced during pregnancy and helps with tissue growth during reproduction. The corpus albicans is a mass of tissue which is formed when the corpus luteum is broken down, which occurs when fertilisation of the egg does not occur (and therefore the woman does not become pregnant). Because the corpus albicans is therefore not present if a woman becomes pregnant, and the hormone relaxin is only produced during pregnancy, the corpus albicans will not secrete relaxin.
What organ secretes the hormones progesterone?
