How does LH affect estrogen and progesterone?

Thanks :)

About two weeks into the menstrual cycle, LH levels surge dramatically and this actually triggers ovulation.
This sudden rise in LH causes the follicle to become a corpus luteum which then releases progesterone; so in effect progesterone levels rise (it helps to thicken the endometrium as well as stopping a new follicle developing).

It is around that time (two weeks into the cycle/ovulation) where oestrogen levels fall and progesterone levels rise; so in short LH causes a decrease in oestrogen, but an increase in progesterone, as you can see here;

btw, oestrogen is just the UK spelling of 'estrogen' !

Hope that helped! :]
