A member asked:

2 years on depo-provera shot now showing a positive pregnancy test at doctor's?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly Pregnant: While depoprovera is a good choice of birth control, no birth control is perfect. If you have a positive pregnancy test, you are probably pregnant. Recommend repeat the test.
