- Prepares the lining of the uterus for implantation.
- Keeps the lining of the uterus thick which is necessary for a successful pregnancy.
- Produces a rise in temperature after ovulation, which remains until menstruation occurs.
- Creates a nutrient rich environment for the baby by increasing glycogen and arterial blood to the lining of the uterus.
