Fortel Ultra HPT - Unreliable and false positives

[Patooties]

I'm like Ngala, I got a faint positive at 9 and 10 dpo, so for me, this brand was fine.

I didn't know I hadn't ovulated, it was the first cycle after AF following the lose of Max so my temp was doing silly things. FF had my o date originally at CD 15 so I started testing at CD 20 (silly I know), but the lines on both types of tests were coming up well within the time limit. I finally got a positive OPK at CD 22 and temp increased again and gave me a new coverline. Ultrasound has confirmed o date as around CD23.

I've read that the Fortel Ultra can give you a false positive if your urine is acidic. Very strange really.

When I used fortel the control never came up . ended up using clearblue - no probs

Lol. I am a new test-junkie and have been using the Foretel strips over the last few days and have been getting BFN's. I know it was a little too early to test, but couldn't help it. AF is due on tuesday, and I am probably clutching at straws here, but has anyone had negative's with these strips and still been pregnant? Are they really that unreliable??
Thanks!

hi everyone, just thought i would pass on my experience with fortel ultra hpts. i would say i have done about 100 of these over the last few years trying to conceive (now have two boys, ttc #3). i have definitely had countless false positives with faint lines appearing well within the test time. it seems to happen more when using FMU.

My advice would be to only trust the result for the fortel ultra if there is a strong positive line - ive been tricked too many times!

I tried the Fortel Ultra this month and I got two positive results, but I am not pregnant. This test should not be on the market. It gives couples false hope and I believe it can be extremely damaging!

Hmmm, I am so sorry to all of you who have had negative experiences with Fortel Ultra, It definately seems that there is a flaw with these test.

However, my experience was very positive. I used this brand on DPO 9 and got a feint feint line, which only got stronger and I am indeed expecting.

Im sure others have had positive experiences but its disturbing that there are so many negative as they seem to be very popular saying that they can pick up the smallest amount of hormone in there test the only ones on the market..

Makes me wonder if the first test was actually a false positive (being so early) ??

Something really needs to be done about this problem as it is causing alot of unwanted hurt and anxiety amongst us.
