if LH is up you are ovulating and progesterone should lower down.

Why does progesterone increase after ovulation?
The short answer to this question is, yes. By the mid leuteal phase a value of 60-100ng/ml should be attained to ensure that the endometrium is maintained and to reduce the chances of an early miscarriage.
How does progesterone play a role in a feedback mechanism?
"The corpus luteum synthesizes progesterone, estradiol, and 17-hydroxyprogesterone. The increased progesterone levels affect the thermoregulatory site in the hypothalamus and increase the core body temperature. Negative feedback from the increased release of estradiol and progesterone from the corpus luteum results in decreased serum LH and FSH levels in the luteal phase. If conception has not occurred, FSH levels increase again at the end of the luteal phase as the progesterone and estradiol levels decrease. The decrease in progesterone and estradiol levels results in shedding of the endometrium-i.e., menstruation. LH pulse frequency is high (90 minutes) and of low amplitude in the follicular phase. The pulse frequency and amplitude increase immediately before ovulation".
Compare body temperatures with and without a functioning corpus luteum?
The main function of the corpus luteum is to produce progesterone, which increases the body temperature in preparation for the fertilized egg. Therefore, without a functioning corpus luteum there would be no increase in progesterone or temperature.
What is the role of progesterone in the reproductive cycle of the horse?
Progesterone is the hormone that maintains pregnancy in the cow. This is a sort of "barrier" that prohibits any hormonal reaction that would trigger the cow to begin parturition. If the progesterone "barrier" breaks down, estrogen levels increase promoting the consequential reaction to begin labour. Progesterone is still an important hormone when the cow is not pregnant. Progesterone levels increase to allow the corpus luteum to degrade and the ovary to start development of new oocytes or ovums. Progesterone levels begin to increase soon after ovulation (which occurs after the standing heat period), and last for around 20 days until the ovum reaches maturity and estrogen levels increase again.
Are you hot when ovulting?
