Hi Samina,
This means you are undergoing infertility treatment and a cycle of ovarian stimulation (Repronex) with blocking your pituitary (Lupron). I think it is a very expensive and agressive method of inducing your ovulation. PCOSers respond very well to cheaper and less agressive treatments. Have you already tried other treatments for your PCOS?
Hope this helps
Sam
