Solution

The source of oestrogen and progesterone during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy is the Corpus luteum.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. After ovulation, the ovarian follicle that released the egg transforms into a structure known as the corpus luteum.
  2. The corpus luteum is responsible for producing oestrogen and progesterone during the early stages of pregnancy.
  3. These hormones are crucial for maintaining the pregnancy before the placenta fully forms and takes over this role.
  4. Around the 10th week of pregnancy, the placenta is fully formed and begins to produce these hormones instead, causing the corpus luteum to degenerate.
  5. Therefore, during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, the corpus luteum is the primary source of oestrogen and progesterone.
