Progesterone begins to rise at ovulation and reaches a peak a week post ovulation. Peak levels can be as low as 10 ng/ml. A level of 4 is not adequate if it was properly time. It would be normal, however, if it was drawn less than or more than 7 days post ovulation since it may be on the way up or on the way down.
As with all fertility test, make sure it was timed properly.

: Hi! I just was told this week that I am not ovulating,
: that my progesterone level is 4.6. I have been having
: regular periods each month and thought that I was ovulating. So need less to say this came as a shock.
: My husband and I have been trying for about a year now
: and we thought it was him because his family has a history of infertility,but he is fine and it is me.
: My question is does anyone know what these levels mean?
: I am to start clomid in about a week. I received all this info over the phone so I a little confused.
