  1. 1. The main female hormones are estrogen and progesterone.

    2. The hormones that stimulate the gonads to produce their own hormones comes from the brain. The pituitary gland close to the central part of the brain starts making hormones that stimulate the ovaries to produce other female sex hormones such as estrogen.
