Can Depo-provera cause lactation?

When having a hot bath recently, white liquid was present on my nipples. I squeezed my breast gently and found that I could extract a fair amount of what appeared to be milk. Worrying that I was pregnant, I took two pregnancy tests, but both were negative. I take Depo-provera, which stops my periods, so I have no other way of monitoring this possibility. Is it possible to lactate if you are not pregnant? Could this be a side-effect of my contraceptive?
