I am guessing that you had a progesterone level checked, and that it was measured in ng/ml. A progesterone of 0.2 would suggest that she is potentially in anestrus or proestrus and has not yet ovulated. To really know what's going on with her heat cycle we typically will also perform a vaginal cytology to look for characteristic changes in the cells that line the vagina. I would recommend talking to your veterinarian about the test results - they might be able to give a better idea of what might be happening in her particular case.
