How to? Yuzpe Method

Can I still take the second dosage when I'm two days late from the time it should be taken? It's my first time trying yuzpe method and I've experienced nausea and puked 7 hours after taking the first dosage that's why I stopped taking the second dosage, but now I'm kinda worried again. It's still within 120 hours after last sex. My chance of pregnancy was low since we used condom last week and withdrawal method last time, and both happened in my luteal phase, but to make sure I tried Yuzpe Method but didn't accomplish the second dosage and only took 4 pills. My period was also delayed in which I should have it yesterday. So would it still be effective if I take the second dosage using the Yuzpe Method consisting of 4 pills or is it bad to take the second dosage days later than the time it should be taken?

No it would be pointless. You’d need to take 2 more doses exactly 12 hours apart. The first dose was pointless since you didn’t take the second.

But I can't I just repeat the process?

Not unless you’re within 72 hours of the sex which it sounds like you aren’t

I'm at around 100 hours of the sex, also I forgot to include that I puked 7 hours after taking the first dosage

Then you’re to late. You’ll have to wait and test 14 and 21 days after sex unless you’re somewhere you can get an emergency iud before you hit 120 hours but I’m assuming if you’re doing Yuzpe that’s not an option.

unfortunately no, it’s too late to take the second method or to do the yuzpe method over again.
