Hallow Dear,

At 6 weeks of pregnancy, if only sac is seen without foetal pole and heart beats, it means that there is no viable baby inside the sac. Such condition is known as Blighted ovum. This pregnancy would not grow. Therefore, the uterus is now trying to throw out the products of conception causing some spotting. This spotting would not be due to sexual intercourse. If within a couple of days you do not abort naturally, please get the abortion done from a Gynaecologist as this is a non-viable pregnancy.

Take care please,
