A member asked:
On the depo-provera shot for a month.. had a positive pregnant test after a missed period.. 2 weeks later had a period and a negative test... why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depo and pregnant: If you use depo-provera as a birth control method, it works by making the endometrial lining very thin and less likely to support a pregnancy. Therefore, if you took it for a month and got pregnant, you could miscarry because the lining isn't thick enough to support the pregnancy. Therefore, the test will be positive then become negative as it runs out of endometrial support.
