Is It Safe To Trust Negative In HCG And Get Another Depo Shot?
I had sex on July 25th. I do not have normal periods since I was due for a depo provera shot on 5/31 and it is way late. I had a hcg done 9/2 and I was told it is negative. I do not know what type of blood test was done. Is it safe to trust it is negative and get another depo shot on Monday?

Hello,
Absent menstrual cycle is a very common side effect of depo shot. Since you had negative HCG testing, it is safe to take depo shot.
Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
