It may indicate low levels of progesterone, or it may indicate that you were ovulating "later" in your cycle.
Are you using any type of hormonal contraception?
Progesterone levels rise after ovulation, and women can ovulate anytime in their cycle, usually mid-cycle (between Day 7-21, average is Day 14, with Day 1 counting as the first day of your period).
Why were you having your hormone levels checked, and it is also important to know the levels of your other hormones (in relation to progesterone). Did your doctor discuss the lab test results with you, as it is important to know that the exact results and ranges change slightly from lab-to-lab, and lab results require the interpretation of your doctor.
