On your CD3 b/w they are most likely not going to test progesterone (if they do it may be just standard for them)  Your level SHOULD be between a < & no greater than a 2.  Your body will not produce progesterone til after you ovulate, then the follicle that ovulated (released the egg or eggs) will produce the progesterone inside that ovary & it usually peaks around 7 days AFTER you O, so your Dr may have you do a CD21 progesterone test to check at that time.  If your pregnant it should continue to produce progesterone, & if your not, then it begins to decline quite quickly by 10 days after you ovulated, then wonderful AF will come in all her glory ;o)
Good luck ;)
