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?

Hi mummy, don’t worry too much. Although i don’t have much experience but it seems pretty normal. I went on 1st check up on my week 6 too, and no heartbeat, only sac was visible. Gynae mentioned too early to see the heartbeat. Managed to hear mine at week 8plus. So don’t stress yourself cos it’s not good for you and baby! 💕
