which one makes the endometrium and which one maintains it?
I think Estrogen makes and progesterone maintains it!!??
 
Estrogen – thicken endometrium
Progesterone – development and maintenance of endometrial wall


Progesterone is made only by corpus luteum, i.e. after ovulation; whereas estrogen is made by follicle as well as corpus luteum.
