? about blood numbers and medicated cycl

Hi all! I've posted before, but haven't been here in a while as I've been busy. On clomid 100mg again, and cd 11 not many follies above 11. same follies and sized on cycle day 14, so Re put me on 2 vials of Repronex. Cd 18 and lots of follies on left (good, because right side is no good, can't get pg there). anyway, told me to stay on meds, but question about blood work and what the rise in numbers means. 2 days ago on cd 16, prog. was .9, LH was 7.1 and E2 was 962. Today, prog. was 2.7, LH was 18 and E2 was 3256. I know the E2 corresponds to the number of eggs, but I'm also on estrogen to thicken the lining which increases the E2 number. What does the increase in prog and LH mean? I always thought that meant ovulation, but they want me to continue the shots and I don't go back for 2 days. Should I be concerned. My real question is really to find out if these prog. and LH numbers are too high to keep going. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Lots of luck to everyone!!
