I haven't gotten my period yet and I took 3 pregnancy tests....they all came out positive. I then went to see a doctor and she gave me a test and it came out negative. Could my tests be wrong? i'm really worried and freaking out. Please help. Please, someone get back to me soon Why could 3 tests come out positive and then one negative at the clinic? I'm also experiencing menstrual pain but no period.
I missed my period 12 days ago. im on depo shot. My first shot was Oct 6th 2011 and i had sex Oct 21 2011 and thats 15 days after the shot. that was the day i was most fertile and i was Came in. when does birth control start working? could i be pregnaunt?
Hi guest,
False positives are VERY rare if the tests are done according to directions. If you have followed the directions, ask the doctor for another test OR ask them to explain what is going on.
Hi Z,
There's no "one" answer for Depo but, if it was more than 7 days prior to having sex then you are considered to be protected. In some cases, it is immediate.

i heard that it takes up to a month to be fully affective. and i took tests in the past that came out faintly positive.. so the tests im taking aren't accurate

If you get the birth control shot within the first seven days after the start of your period, you are protected from pregnancy immediately. If you get the shot within five days after miscarriage or an abortion, or within three weeks after giving birth, you are protected from pregnancy immediately. Otherwise, you need to use some form of backup birth control — like a condom, female condom, diaphragm, sponge, or emergency contraception (morning after pill) — for the first week after getting the shot.
