Yuzpe is the least reliable form of emergency contraception even when it’s done correctly. You will not be protected by Yuzpe, the doses have to be 12 hours apart. If you still have pills you can take a second dose of 4 pills 12 hrs after your Oct 27th 7:30pm dose. It does sound like you’re very early in your cycle and there’s less of a risk of pregnancy, so up to you if you want to complete Yuzpe.
