Hormone QQQ is estrogen, secreted primarily by the developing ovarian follicle; Hormone SSS is progesterone, secreted primarily by the corpus luteum.

Hormone QQQ is progesterone, secreted primarily by the corpus luteum; Hormone SSS is estrogen, secreted primarily by the developing ovarian follicle.

Hormone QQQ is luteinising hormone (LH\text{LH}LH), secreted primarily by the anterior pituitary; Hormone SSS is follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH\text{FSH}FSH), secreted primarily by the anterior pituitary.
