Lab tests are not perfect. Wait until the next one before panicing. It did go up bey 30 which is 50% in this case. That could be due to lab error. So hang in there. The progesterone level only means that you are getting the progesterone shot and is of no value whatsoever in monitoring your pregnancy.
