| 1. | High level of circulating FSH and LH in the uterus to stimulate implantation of the embryo |
| 2. | High level of circulating HCG to stimulate endometrial thickening |
| 3. | High levels of FSH and LH in uterus to stimulate endometrial thickening |
| 4. | High level of circulating HCG to stimulate oestrogen and progesterone synthesis |
