Which of the following statements regarding the corpus luteum and menstrual cycle is incorrect?
1. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone, which prevents the breakdown of the endometrial lining.

2. If fertilisation occurs, human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) maintains the corpus luteum, allowing it to continue hormone secretion.

3. A decline in progesterone levels after ovulation ensures proper implantation of the fertilized ovum.

4. The corpus luteum regresses in the absence of fertilisation, leading to menstruation and the initiation of a new cycle.
