No, a level of 0.2 hCG is considered not pregnant. Pregnancy tests detect hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) in urine. Levels of 5 mIU/mL or higher are typically indicative of pregnancy. If you suspect you're pregnant, retest a few days later or consult a healthcare provider for a blood test, which can detect lower levels of hCG.
