Sorry I had a typo. I meant to say ... four weeks if you count conception* not contraception. Sorry about that.

Are you absolutely positive that it was an empty sac? Did the technician tell you that it was empty? I'm only asking because with you being six weeks along (four weeks if you count contraception) it might be hard to see the embryo because it's so tiny.

If indeed the technician told you that it was an empty sac, I'm sorry to say but there is no baby. The same thing happened to a friend of mine. It was just an empty yok sack. It can happen sometimes if someone is on birth control and they get pregnant. Check with your doc to make sure. I'm pretty sure that they can try to see if there's a heartbeat or something to make darn sure that your baby is indeed-y in there. Good luck.
