The three estrogen hormones Estrone, Estradiol and Estriol, are steroid hormones that are produced by the ovaries in the female, starting on the first day of a woman's menstrual cycle. Most commonly known to stimulate the growth of the uterus lining to prepare for a fetus, the Estrogens are actually responsible for a whole host of other functions in the body.
