I was diagnosed BLIGHED OVUM,which means an empty gestational sac,in March,last year. I was 7 week pregnant and there was no sign of anything inside of gestational sac so I was put into hospital and had a sergery. Doctor cleaned me...it didnt hurt at all. I was told not to get pregnant in next 3 months and in July I got pregnant and now I am 37w pregnant without any problem at all. I am just wainting to deliver my baby boy. I personaly think that there is still a chance for you becouse you should be at least 6 and a half or 7 weeks pregnant in order to be diagnosed an empty gestational sac. But please remember that if you get diagnosed it that it is not a problem for any future pregnancy atempt. It wont influence on anything. You can google BLIGHTED OVUM ifyou want some additional explanations. I read a thousand pages on that topic. All of them are positive. I wish you all best! I hope i helped you a little. Be brave,you'll  soon see your little heart in the ultrasound!

my doctor acted like there is hope but I cried all the way to my car. I couldn't even see to find my keys. I'm more relaxed now but still worried of course.
