Menopause Feedback: In a nut shell. Estrogen is the female hormone and can help regulate your periods and growth/developing of the woman, depending on what age you are.
Progesterone(female version of testosterone) helps to maintain the pregnancy when pregnant it thickens the lining of the uterus and plays a roll in the female system to help regulate periods.
