I got a message back from the managing director of the company that manufactures Foretel Ultra, Marco Soldatic. He is very nice and responds to his emails almost immediately which is a nice surprise. He said that "Unfortunately levels can rise and fall; and obviously this is more so during the early stages." Which is spot on. Perhaps the test is so sensitive it picks up the tiniest of traces of hCG which can be a little misleading where the pathologist is really looking for results that are over 25 mIU/ml.
Good luck to you all. If you'd like further information about Foretel Ultra, I suggest emailing Marco Soldatic directly. He'll no doubt be happy to discuss any problems you guys have had with the tests. At the very least, it'll give him an idea of the problems we are all facing with the Foretel Ultra tests and perhaps it will instigate an investigation which will see the problem resolved. His emailaddress is available from the Foretel website which is on the information leaflet from the Foretel Ultra pregnancy test box.
Perhaps the ultimate message here is to try and be patient and test a week after your missed period with a less sensitive test if you've experienced what I have.
Good luck! I hope this has been helpful for you.

Have you had your AF yet? If not you may still be pg but your HCG levels have just not risen yet.... it's happened before. The other thing is is could have been a chemical pregnancy... not sure of the details on that but I think they end quite early and the HCG levels don't rise... just a thought.
