Is a pregnancy test with sensitivity 10, 22 days after intercourse reliable? Is it possible that 22 days after intercourse the concentration is less than 10 and the test could not detect it? Is there a need to repeat it?

To @A a a a:
The pregnancy test with a sensitivity of 10 mIU/ml is very sensitive and can detect pregnancy at an early stage. However, the reliability of the result depends on the time that has elapsed since the potential fertilization. Optimally, the test should be performed no earlier than 8-14 days after conception, preferably with morning urine. If the test was carried out according to the instructions and in a timely manner, the result can be considered reliable.
Is the result reliable after such a long time?

The test performed was a super-sensitive test, and the result obtained indicates that there was no pregnancy.
It was a test with a sensitivity of 10mlU

To @Kowalska Ania:
You can rule out pregnancy, a beta-HCG result of 1 mIU/ml indicates that you are not pregnant. When it comes to the pregnancy test, depending on the test used, a reliable result can be obtained as early as 10-14 days after intercourse. The most reliable result is obtained when the test is performed on the expected day of menstruation or later. When performing the test, follow the manufacturer's information in the instructions included in the package. To ensure that the absorbent tip is thoroughly soaked, manufacturers usually recommend immersing the test in a urine stream for at least 10 seconds, or immersing it in urine collected in a clean container for a minimum of 3 seconds. The result, in turn, should be read after a period of time strictly specified by the manufacturer (after a certain period of time, any changes in the result should not be taken into account). The result shown in the photo indicates that there was no pregnancy, only one control strip C appeared.
Today, after 28 days, I repeated the morning urine test, negative

A pregnancy test performed no earlier than 10-14 days after intercourse should be reliable. The result of the test performed 22 days after intercourse should be reliable. In order to exclude pregnancy, it is best to perform two different tests. I encourage you to read the materials: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/artykuly/test-ciazowy-jaki-wybrac-i-kiedy-zrobic
