The first injection of Dep-Provera is usually given within the first five days of starting your period in order for it to be immediately effective for birth control. So you are protected, even with full intercourse (ejaculation within). As long as you get your future shots on time, there is no need to use a backup method of birth control. Some women feel better doing this even so and that's fine too.
If you are still nervous, a pregnancy test can ease your mind.
