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 tink every one is different. I managed to see on ultrasound and also get to hear heartbeat at wk 6 at gynae (the heartbeat was weak thou). Supposed to c him on wk 9 but i returned on wk 7+ coming wk 8 to get nausea meds so i did another scan. This time the heartbeat was louder but i find it sounds slow… 😂
