If fertilization occurs, then the corpus luteum continues making progesterone until the placenta forms.

如果受精发生，黄体会持续释放黄体激素直到胎盘形成。

In this case, the corpus luteum doesn't dissolve but instead continues to grow.

此时，黄体不会溶解而会继续增长。

During the luteal phase, the remnant of the ovarian follicle, called the corpus luteum, makes progesterone, which negatively inhibits pituitary LH.

在黄体期，残余的卵巢滤泡，称为黄体，分泌孕激素，通过负反馈作用抑制垂体分泌LH。

If fertilization occurs - meaning if a sperm meets the secondary oocyte - then the corpus luteum continues making progesterone until the placenta forms.

如果这时候受精，精子遇到次级卵母细胞，黄体会持续地分泌黄体酮，直到胎盘形成。

If fertilization doesn't happen, then the corpus luteum stops making hormones after around 10 days, becomes fibrotic, and is called the corpus albicans.

如果次级卵母细胞没有受精，大概10天之后，黄体就会停止释放激素而纤维化，形成白体。

If fertilization doesn't happen, then the corpus luteum stops making hormones after approximately 10 days, becomes fibrotic, and is called the corpus albicans.

如果未受精，黄体会在大概10天后停止生成激素，并纤维化变成白体。

This helps rescue that follicle, now called the corpus luteum, from degenerating as it normally would do in that stage of the menstrual cycle.

这有助于挽救现在称为黄体的卵泡免于退化，就像它在月经周期的那个阶段通常会发生的那样。

Right after ovulation, while the LH levels are still high, the remains of the follicle turn into the corpus luteum, which is made up of luteinized granulosa and theca cells.

排卵之后，LH水平依然很高，卵泡剩下的部分，即被黄素化的颗粒细胞和内膜细胞就会组成黄体。

The corpus luteum is responsible for producing the progesterone required to maintain the pregnancy until six to seven weeks of gestation, when the placenta develops and takes over, until the baby is born approximately 40 weeks later.

黄体负责产生维持妊娠所需的黄体酮，直到妊娠六到七周，此时胎盘发育并接管，直到大约 40 周后婴儿出生。
