I would delay getting the next shot for a few weeks. (Keep in mind that you should use a backup birth control during this time. Also your period may be delayed or irregular when you go off the shot.) If the test comes up positive, BELIEVE it. Depo provera will not cause a false positive pregnancy test.

I would test again before you go in to get your shot...or at the very least have them test you before giving you the shot. I've always heard that even a faint positive is still a positive. Definitely check with your doctor. Good luck!
