A member asked:

Depo wore off 5 days before having unprotected sex. my period is due tomorrow, took a digital pregnancy test and it says positive. could this be false?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Although many false negatives, the positive is not likely to be incorrect. Assume you are pregnant and get to OB/GYN
