Yes, you did ovulate. There are different standards, but generally any number over 5 indicates ovulation, but "normal" ovulatory activity is over 10, and over 12 is preferable for sustaining a pregnancy. Some drs will say 2-5 indicates some ovulatory activity, but there is basically no chance of a mature egg in that range. I had a friend get pg with only a 7.8 progesterone level. So, between 5-10 is kind of a "grey" area - you ovulated, but the egg may not be sufficiently mature for proper fertilization and implantation, but it *could* be.

A progesterone test is done to confirm ovulation. When a follicle releases its egg, it becomes what is called a corpus luteum and produces progesterone. A level over 5 probably indicates some form of ovulation, but most doctors want to see a level over 10 on a natural cycle, and a level over 15 on a medicated cycle. There is no mid-luteal level that predicts pregnancy. Some say the test may be more accurate if done first thing in the morning after fasting.
Progesterone Levels at Ovulation
Another thing I found online:
Progesterone levels can vary from laboratory to laboratory. The level can also vary from morning to afternoon and even drop 50 percent after a meal. Unfortunately, most physicians are not aware of this fact and do not advise their patients to check levels early in the morning and while fasting. Any level over about 2 or 3ng/ml likely indicates ovulation. A fasting a.m. blood progesterone level over 10ng/ml in our lab indicates normal follicular development and ovulation.
HTH!
