Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The blood HCG evaluation is a specific test for pregnancy. At 4 weeks , the levels of 2 is not suggestive of pregnancy. The symptoms you are having are only suggestive of pregnancy but do not confirm the diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
