Undetectable HCG: The level at which an HCG is considered undetectable can be different between different institutions. However i would think that a level of two (usually anything less than 3miu/ml) is undetectable and therefore a negative test, thus not warranting methotrexate. I would discuss this further with your doctor as Methotrexate is not benign.
