Told no heartbeat at 7 weeks but to return for 2nd opinion

7 weeks pregnant. Started with some moderate/mild bleeding on Thursday morning. I called EPU and was advised to attend clinic for a scan on Saturday morning.
In a bit of a panic, I called the Private Scan clinic (we were booked in for a scan the following week) and brought appointment forward to Thurs evening.
At private scan, seen heartbeat and no reason for bleeding was seen.

Fast forward to Saturday at EPU, they do internal scan and say no heartbeat present. All very fast and quite bluntly put.

Bleeding has dwindled to nearly nothing now and still no cramping.

We need to attend EPU again on Tuesday for a 2nd opinion as there was not a 2nd sonographer there on Sat to verify. She didn't sound like there was much chance of better news.

If there any point holding out hope or should I just accept that internal scan is far more viable?
