I'm a bit worried because I haven't gotten my period this month. Today is the 35th day and my cycle is usually 28 days. Last week I had cramps like I usually do when it's about to start, but no blood came, just a heavy discharge. Can you help me understand what's going on?

My friend had a medical abortion at six weeks. Initially, she didnt bleed for more than a day, but when the bleeding started, it was really heavy and lasted about four days before stopping all of a sudden. Is it normal for the bleeding to stop after just a few days like that? Since it stopped, she's been having severe stomach pain along with fever and headache. Could you help us understand why the bleeding might have stopped so quickly and what might be causing her to have these symptoms?
