Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
Yes HCG levels are used to diagnose pregnancy in woman. As you now have quantitative beta serum hCG of 2.39, this means you are not pregnant & the pregnancy test you had earlier was false positive.
This could also means that you have undergone a miscarriage & was previously pregnant. So now HCG levels have fallen in you.
You are also advised to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound to further clarify the things. Females with low HCG levels are prone to miscarriage in early part of pregnancy

Refer to a gynaecologist
Hope this information helps
