Inaccurate blood tests would come from errors made by the lab technician. False urine tests are normal.

The show is called I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant. It comes on TLC every week I believe. It's quite interesting to watch.  

As for my friend, she wasn't on the depo anymore, she wouldn't let them give her another one and she kept having negatives. Sometimes unexplained things do happen.

Well all i can say is she never had a test done until 7 months pregnant,they probably told her she wasnt as she was on the shot so never tested her.a test will pick up HCG when they are pregnant.at 7 months your levels would be in the thousands,so impossible to not have a positive test.if there is no hcg then there is no pregnancy.as bllod test will detect a pregnancy within days of conception.

Actually, I had a friend on depo and she didn't get a positive test until she was 7 months along. She kept trying to tell her doctors that she was (it was her 2nd child) and they kept saying no. So, it could be a possibility.

I agree side effects a blood test would be accurate.you cant be pregnant and not know as test would confirm pregnancy,A hcg is produced in pregnancy this is the pregnancy hormone.no hcg then no pregnancy.,the only way someone would not know they are pregnant is if they didnt take a test.you also wouldnt be gaining weight yet.

They are probably just the effects of coming off the depo. I would take another test, otherwise I would assume side effects.
