The hormone hCG is produced from the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the developing embryo. This hormone is responsible for maintaining the corpus luteum during pregnancy for 3-4 months so that the corpus luteum continues to produce progesterone. Progesterone is needed to prevent a menstual cycle while pregnant. After 3-4 months, the placenta takes over the production of progesterone.
Progesterone is secreted in high concentrations by the Corpus Luteum.
Estrogen is secreted by the developing follicles.

Corpus luteum secrets an hormone called Progesterone that maintains the lining of the endometrium and sustains pregnancy
The corpus luteum secretes progesterone & other hormones to maintain early pregnancy which maintains the uterine lining during the first months of pregnancy.The corpus luteum in the ovary results from the release of an egg. It now produces progesterone to maintain the endometrium of the uterine walls.The corpus luteum is a "yellow body". Before it released the egg, it was white and referred to as the corpus albicans (white body).
corpus luteum
Prostaglandin F2α is responsible for the luteolysis of the corpus luteum.
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.

Progesterone is the primary hormone produced in the corpus luteum. Secondary is estrogen.

Progesterone is the hormone that maintains the lining of the uterus for the fertilized egg. The progesterone is produced by the corpus luteum for the first 8 weeks, before the placenta takes over its production.

Lutenizing Hormone
The corpus luteum produces progesterone, which is a very important hormone for maintaining pregnancy. A corpus luteum or "yellow body" occurs after the mature follicle has been released from the ovum, then cells of the follicle change into the corpus luteum.

Prostaglandin F2α is responsible for the luteolysis of the corpus luteum.
The corpus luteum is formed from the ovary. The pituitary gland increases its production of the second hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH). This second hormone allows the mature egg to rupture from the ovary (called ovulation) and enter into the uterine tube. The postovulatory phase has begun. LH also encourages the formation of a "scar" within the ovary. This "scar" is called the corpus luteum, and it produces the hormone progesterone.
