Estrogen is produced in the ovaries, primarily the theca (wall) of developing follicles in the ovary, though also to a lesser extent the corpus luteum (remaining outer 'shell' which previously contained an egg) and, during certain stages of pregnancy, the placenta.
Some estrogens are produced in smaller quantities by liver, adrenal glands and the breasts.These secondary sources of estrogens are especially important in postmenopausal women. Fat cells produce estrogen as well.
Estrogen is a generic term for a group of steroidogenic hormones that includes estradiol, estrone, and estriol. Estradiol is produced by the ovary and is the primary and most abundant estrogen. Estrone is produced by both the ovary and adipose tissue. Estriol is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. All three are derived from metabolic products of cholesterol. Estradiol and estrone are derived from androstenedione, which is then either de-methylated and converted to estrone or converted to testosterone, which is further modified by aromatase into estradiol. Estriol is synthesized by the placenta from 16-OH DHEAS, another metabolic product of cholesterol.

Estrogen
Estrogen is primarily made by the gonads, which are the ovaries in women, and the testicles in males, and by the adrenal glands, which sit above the kidneys. Some plants, such as soybeans, produce estrogen analogs, which are substances that closely resemble estrogens.
Progesteron is produced by corpus luteum of ovaries.Oestrogen is produced by graafian follicle.
