6 week scan no heartbeat

Hi all, I did an abdominal scan at the gynae at what I believe was 6 weeks based on LMP but the scan measured the gestational sac as 5 weeks, doctor said there is a yolk sac but no heartbeat found so will have to return 2 weeks later for another scan. It's measuring one week behind and now I'm worried that this is a missed miscarriage. Doesn't help that I'm 39 and this is my first ever pregnancy after trying for 2 years. Is it normal to measure behind time and no heartbeat at 6 weeks scan?

I know it feels uneasy and keep thinking and worrying about it. I would suggest you go to a private to get a scan done if it helps to relieve you a little bit. try to relax more as your baby will feel your stress if you're stressed up. perhaps watch some drama series to take your mind away from it?

yes so far my previous scans all done at the private gynae. I'm changing to a different gynae clinic next Monday for a second opinion. thanks.
