If you take it before the 5 days before
your due for your period, then most likely
you'll get a negative. Most people would
probably say wait until after you've
actually missed your period for the most
accurate result.

ok here is what happened. My boyfriend and
i always use the withdrawl method. We're
really safe about it but this last time he
idn't think he pulled out fast enough but
we don't know. Now i have an appointment
to start taking the depo shot on the 30th
of october. I'm a real worry wart and i
plan way ahead of myself. I just need a
little advice on what i should do. Is it
ok to take birth control before i take a
pregnancy test?

Yes taking a pregnancy test early can give
a false reading. Taking a pregnancy test
with your first morning urine on or after
the day your period is due will give more
accurate results. I believe these
directions are on the home pregnancy test
boxes.
When is your period due?

When is your period due? I'd suggest
talking to your doctor when you go in for
the appointment, and see what she thinks
you should do. Or you can call up ahead of
time and ask.

No. It is not ok to get the shot without
first telling your doctor if you think you
may be pregnant. When is your period due?

Well the beginning of the month is still a
few weeks away. So if I were you, I'd call
the doctor's office and see what they want
you to do. They may want to reschedule
your appt until after you have had your
period to make sure that you're not
pregnant.

i used the withdrawl method for about 13
years and fell pregnant 4 times so wait
and see if you get your period first. At
the moment i am 8 days late but pregancy
test says negative. I just come off the
pill had one period but as i say this one
late. is this normal.

ould be evap lines, acurate readings need
to be within the stated time frame.
As to the OP do not get the shot when
there's a possibility of pg tell your doc
and go from there

This question has been answered for you
multiple times - approximately 4 weeks
after your last period, TAKE A TEST.

Depo Appointment

Usually the doctor is going to check your
urine when you go in for the shot...like
having a physical. Have him check for
pregnancy if you want. That way, you won't
have to cancel your appointment..
Or, go to the store and buy one yourself.

thats an evap linbe and it means the test
sat for too long
if they were neg at first then you are NOT
pregnant
the EVAP LINE MEANS NOTHING
