Q: Depo Shot and positive pregacy test
asked by: Breannasgrma on April 9th, 2009

My daughter gave birth to my beautiful grandbaby Nov 20, 2008. January 2009, my daughter got the depo shot. Here it is April 2009, and she missed her period last week. I got her a pregnacy test and it came out positive. Could this be true or just something that happens with the depo shot? Please HELP!

Just checking, but...
You do know that the Depo- Provera shot is supposed to make your periods stop, don't you? I was on the DP shot before and from what I have read and learned about it, the shot has no effect on HCG levels in a woman. HCG is what is measured in pregnancy tests. You may want to make sure that your daughter took her shot. Also, you may want to retest her. Here is a direct quote from one site I visited:
A sensitive urine pregnancy test (home pregnancy test) is not inaccurate if a woman is using Depo-Provera or any hormonal contraceptive.
