* If the ovum is [[Reproductive_System_- Anatomy & Physiology#Fertilisation.2C_Implantation_and_Early_Embryonic_Development|fertilised]], the corpus luteum remains fully developed and active throughout at least part of the pregnancy.
* If the ovum is [[Reproductive_System_- Anatomy & Physiology#Fertilisation.2C_Implantation_and_Early_Embryonic_Development|fertilised]], the corpus luteum remains fully developed and active throughout at least part of the pregnancy.
* Corpora lutea produce progesterone.
* Corpora lutea produce progesterone.
* Progesterone prepares and maintains the [[Female_Reproductive_Tract_-The_Uterus_- Anatomy & Physiology|uterus]] for implantation of the [[Reproductive_System_- Anatomy & Physiology#Fertilisation.2C_Implantation_and_Early_Embryonic_Development|fertilised]] ovum.

* The number of corpora lutea formed are directly related to the number of oocytes released.
