Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.

1. On the depo shot you will get very irregular bleeding or no bleeding at all. So it is not suprise that you are getting what you perceive to be a 'delayed' period.
2. A pregnancy test must be read within minutes - when it is allowed to sit for so long, it is common for it to read faintly positive
3. So, you need to repeat the pregnanct test when you have time to read it according to the packaging recommendations so that what you see is accurate!

I hope that this helps. If you have more questions, please click on "ASK ME A QUESTION" link above to directly ask me a question!
