If fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum will become a corpus albicans and eventually disappear
Around 10 days after the egg leaves the dominant follicle, corpus luteum will begin to degrade if the egg is not fertilized. Uterus lining won't undergo the modifications necessary to promote pregnancy without progesterone. Instead, the lining will be lost when you get your period.
The corpus albicans is the regressed version of the corpus luteum, which is referred to as the atretic corpus luteum, corpus candicans, or simply as albicans (Latin for "whitening body"). Fibroblasts deposit type I collagen to create the corpus albicans as macrophages degrade the corpus luteum.
The hormone progesterone, which is produced by the corpus luteum, makes the uterus a healthy environment for a growing fetus. Each time you ovulate, a new corpus luteum develops, and it disintegrates once you no longer require it for progesterone synthesis. The uterus could not transform an egg that has been fertilized into a fetus without the corpus luteum.
