Could i be pregnant or is it a false pregnancy? i had hcg shot and now my test is slightly positive.

Either one depending: Hcg injection stays in the body for an average of 10 days. Checking a pregnancy test prior to that time can give a false positive, while checking much after 10 days is usually due to pregnancy if the test is positive. I hope this helps!
