Question

HCG even if she is not pregnant?" />

Answer

My HCG level was 2.9 when I went to the doctor is why I was asking. I'm new to all this TTCing and was wondering what to look out for and all. Thanks!

Answer

Yes. It's rare but it's possible. Some kind of cancer produce HCG. During climacteric period woman can produce HCG. Therefore blood work at your docs office is considered 'negative' if HCG level is < 20.
