There is a phenomenon called the Hook Effect which if present results in false negative results of beta HCG whether done qualitatively (Card test) or quantitatively (Serum estimation)... Some special laboratories interpret these values by serial dilution...
Or it may be that she is really having low levels of beta HCG and the absence of menses may be due to other hormonal disturbances
