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?

For my 1st pregnancy, I went to see my gynea at week 5.5 as I missed my period. Gynea did a scan and everything was normal and was told to come back at week 8 but could not hear heart beat and came back on week 9 and managed to listen for baby's heart beat. For my 2nd pregnancy, I visited the gynea at week 6 as I missed my period and came back at week 7.5 and managed to hear baby's heart beat. Every pregnancy is different. Hope for the best and relax.
