Preparation of the body for maintaining pregnancy.
Progesterone (produced by the corpus luteum and placenta) transforms the endometrium into a secretory state for implantation, helps maintain the uterine lining during pregnancy, and reduces uterine contractions. It does not cause male secondary sex characteristics and estrogens, not progesterone, are mainly responsible for female secondary sex characteristics; it does not primarily "prepare" the fallopian tube for fertilization.
