Slow heart beat 7 weeks

Hi,
I've never written on here before but I'm just looking for anyone who has been through something simular.
I am currently 7 weeks pregnant. I have had some very light spotting so went to the early pregnancy clinic today. I was scanned and told that I am measuring more between 6 to 7 weeks pregnant and that the baby's heartbeat is very slow. The doctor also said I have a tilted womb so it was difficult to get this information.

As the heartbeat is so slow I've been told it is almost certain that I will miscarry. I've been rebooked in for another week time but told its jot guaranteed I will miscarry before then but that I may do. They will rescan me but even if there is still a heartbeat I've been told the pregnancy is unlikely to be viable. Has anyone else had this before?
I have previously had a stillbirth and an earlier miscarriage so feeling a little broken right now. Don't know how I'm gona cope not knowing what is happening.

Oh the waiting is awful. How slow is slow? It's so hard to not cling to the glimmer of hope. So sorry for your previous losses too, no wonder you're a bag of nerves. X

Thanks for the reply. She didn't say how slow. She just said slow. It did occur to me after that I should have asked. But I also have blood around the sac aswell which is what is causing the light spotting. I just feel so numb.

It's weird how hollow and sick you can feel at the same time. Big hugs x
