HELP - How to cope with the wait

I had a private scan on Saturday at 8+2 weeks where was told it was suspected missed miscarriage. Initially abdominal scan (my bladder was actually too full so was told to use the loo first) where couldn't see enough beyond there being something in uterus so moved to vaginal. Could see gestational sac measuring 23mm and the yolk sac, but the embryo was barely there. Crl measured 2mm.

The earliest appointment EPAU could give me was 8th August and it feels like he'll waiting. I'm trying to work but I just can't focus at all.

I keep going through so many scenarios, like what if my bladder being too full distorted my uterus? What if my subserosal fibroid (outside of uterus) distorted things? What if the private clinic used the wrong type of cover on the probe (was a durex branded condom)? Why was it just one sonographer/midwife with no one there to give a second opinion or try harder to get a better view? Could there have been any other mistake or misinterpretation? These questions keep spinning around in my head and I can't get them to stop. How do I cope and help myself in the week up to the scan?

Also I'm sorry for posting again after also posting a couple of days back, but I am struggling so much to cope and I really don't know how to get through this coming week of limbo, I don't feel strong enough.
