6.5 weeks Empty Sac

I should be 6.5 weeks this week  but the last sono was a empty sac , I am going back Monday for another but if its the same My Dr has Suggested we schedule a DNC :(  My HCG levels are still rising first check was 2200 and this Monday was 6900 so he said we should see more than a empty sac.  I am 35 with two beautiful healthy girls and this was a unexpected pregnancy but I started to get excited just to soon. Im wondering if at my age how hard it will be to conceive after the dnc and the likelhood of a repeat issue.  Anyone been through anything similiar ?

Having a miscarriage is difficult to go through (I've had two).  On the bright side, you were blessed with two beautiful children!  I hope you have a fast recovery!

I had similar issues with my pregnancy this time and my babys heart showed up at the 8wk scan. At 6 wks they were sure I would miscarry and had me come back in 2wks to make sure nothing was there and would schedule the D&C. My cousin, an ultrasound tech, said to only worry if the sac shrinks. Hope you get answers soon because waiting to hear is the worst.

I have seen lots of posts on here about not seeing anything in the sac at 6 weeks. Don't rush to make any decisions yet, hopefully your exam on monday will show your little one, but if it doesn't I still suggest to wait before scheduling the d&c, you might just be earlier then what you thought, good luck!

I would definitely wait before making any decisions.  I had that happen several times, for me they were all blighted ovums & I had D&C's.  I am 37 yrs old & currently 37 1/2 weeks pregnant with a lil boy.  It did not take me any longer to conceive again, I personally had some unexplained fertility issues.  It's true your dates could be off;

If your numbers are rising like that, I would not write off the pregnancy.  It is possible you ovulated a little late.
