However, what about the other case:  when conception <em>does<\/em> occur?<\/p>\n<p>The fertilized egg finds lodging in the blood lining of the uterus.  Immediately, the placenta starts developing.  As it does, it secretes a hormone (HCG) which orders the corpus luteum to continue producing progesterone.  The progesterone from the corpus luteum maintains the blood lining in the uterus temporarily.  Meanwhile, the placenta develops rapidly; soon, it starts producing its own progesterone.  Throughout the pregnancy, the release of progesterone from the placenta will prevent menstruation.<\/p>\n<p>There are a couple of terms that might be helpful.  Implantation is the lodging of the fertilized egg in the blood lining of the uterus.
