The result of the second test also confirms that you are not pregnant.
So the second result is also negative and indicates a score below 2? I don't know much about reading these results, but as far as I can see they are the same. The first one was done on Friday and the second one on Wednesday. Is the result already reliable 10-14 days after intercourse? I've been having weird symptoms lately, but since beta is at the same level

You can rule out pregnancy.
I would like to ask you to answer the following question

Yes, these are common side effects that occur when duloxetine is discontinued. More in a similar thread on our forum:
Hello, I have stopped taking Duloxetine zentiva - I have been having terrible dizziness and tinnitus for a few days, could this be the result of discontinuing the drug?
Best regards
And does the examination be affected by whether I was fasting or not? How should I do it? Because I was fasting twice in the morning

Yes, the result can be considered reliable.
If you do not have a period, you should contact your gynaecologist to rule out other causes.
Today I repeated the test 14 days after intercourse, if it comes out less than two, the result can be considered reliable, or can menstruation not occur after all?

The result of the beta HCG blood test can already be considered reliable. Everything indicates that you are not pregnant.
You do not have to be fasting to test the level of beta HCG in your blood.
The intercourse took place on April 9 and I did it on April 19 jst credible or should I repeat ? I did a urine test on Wednesday but the sensitivity was 20 so I guessed it might not show yet
If 14 days have passed since intercourse, is the beta already reliable?
I did the examination around 10.30 fasting

To @Gosia:
Drinking coffee or energy drinks before an hCG test is unlikely to significantly change the results.
However, the timing of the blood draw can have an impact on the measured hCG levels. Levels of hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) can fluctuate throughout the day, with higher levels usually seen in the morning.
And does the coffee drunk in the morning or the energy drink before the blood draw have an impact on the test? Is e.g. the day before the night

Yes, ">" means a result below 2 mIU/mL - i.e. no pregnancy.
You do not need to repeat the test.
Because according to the range, a score below 2 indicates no pregnancy, and I have a score of 2.0
I thought my result was 2.0 ml and this sign <2.0 oznacza ze po prostu wynik to wartość poniżej 2 i nie jest blizej określona ?
But in my case there is no need to repeat because the result is below 2 and indicates the absence of pregnancy?

It all depends on the laboratory, in some cases a score below 2 indicates no pregnancy, in others below 5. In the laboratory you have been using now, a result below 2 indicates that you are not pregnant, and any above that should be consulted with a gynaecologist and, if necessary, the test repeated.
So in the future, a result above 2 indicates pregnancy? For example <2.1? Czy mówimy tu o wynikach od 2 do 5
Thanks!

There is no need to repeat the test. The result can already be considered reliable if more than 10 days have passed since intercourse.
If the result oscillates above 2-5 mIU/mL, it would be advisable to repeat the test. Since in your case it is less than 2, i.e. it can be e.g. 0.1 mIU/mL - there is no need to perform the test again.
The result of the test clearly indicates that you are not pregnant.
I'm 24 years old
So the test does not need to be repeated? If it comes out above 2 e.g. 2.30 is it a sign that you are pregnant? I don't know how to read the reference result because here it only shows the result <2 czyli jeszcze byłoby powyżej 2 to ciąża?

The result means no pregnancy.
BetaHCG concentrations below 2 mIU/mL - as in your case - are typical for premenopausal women who are not pregnant.
