A 0.100 hCG level is typically considered a non-pregnant level. In pregnancy tests, hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels are measured to determine pregnancy. Levels below 5 mIU/mL are generally considered negative for pregnancy, while levels above 25 mIU/mL are positive. If you suspect pregnancy or have concerns about your hCG levels, it’s best to consult with a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and advice.
