Week 8 based on last menstrual period but ultrasound showed 5.5 weeks

Hello! Anyone here experiencing the same situation? I’m currently 8 weeks preg (according to my last menses) but ultrasound scan, it showed 5.5 weeks. Only gestational sac can be seen. No yolk sac and fetal pole yet. Started some spotting yesterday. Thank you.

When I did my 1st scan, ultrasound showed 6 weeks which tallies with the last menses date, can't hear heart beat too. Doc suggested vaginal scan if I really wanna try hearing, but I decided not to cuz I think extra cost. I asked doc if it is normal to be unable to hear heartbeat at 6 weeks via ultrasound, she said it is normal. Did my 2nd scan at 8 weeks and the heartbeat was loud and clear. Stay positive! 💪🏻
