I am curious if you are on the depo shot and you take a pregnancy test will it read a "false positive". because the shot is to convince your body that it is already pregnant. If is does give a false positive how do you know if you are pregnant. Granted I know that the chances are slim to none....but there is still that chance....please e-mail your comments to stellesr2000@yahoo.com

The only way to get a +++ on a pg test is to have HCG in your system ! So NO the depo will not cause a false +++!

sometimes a rare tumor/cyst will cause HCG to rise !
