One line is visible on the test, which means that you are not pregnant. The test result is read from a few to several minutes after it is performed, later the result may no longer be reliable. As I wrote - the most reliable image will give you beta-bCG from blood and a visit to the gynecologist.
Here's an example.

If I were you, I would do a beta-hCG blood test - it can detect pregnancy as early as 6-8 days after ovulation, because it measures the level of the hCG hormone (chorionic gonadotropin) directly in the blood. This is a more sensitive method, it can be performed in laboratories, e.g. Alab, synevo, diagnostics.
On 15.08 I did a test, there was a barely noticeable pale second stripe. And on 17.08 the test was negative. How to interpret such results?

Yes, three weeks after intercourse, the pregnancy test should already show a reliable result. Pregnancy tests detect the hormone hCG in the urine, which begins to be produced after the fertilized egg implants in the uterus. This usually occurs about 10-14 days after fertilization. After three weeks, the hCG level is high enough that a pregnancy test, especially one with high sensitivity, should give a reliable result. If in doubt, I recommend consulting a gynecologist.
