Pregnancy of unknown location.. Lost in limbo

I guess I'm hoping for someone to be realistic with me. I don't want to live with false hope.
My lmp was on 24/11, technically making me 6w6d. But I didn't get a solid bfp until 3/1. Yesterday I started bleeding, mostly red, and only lightly, with on/off cramps. I lost my last pregnancy at 12w3d, the day before my first scan. So this morning I went for an early scan which showed a gestational sac at 7mm, no visible yolk sac etc. It was deemed a pregnancy of unknown location and I have to go in again in 48 hours for further blood tests. I know in my heart that it is likely a failed pregnancy and impending miscarriage. But because of the late bfp there is part of me that wonders if I ovulate very late. Pregnancy symptoms only started mildly last few days, but I realise this doesn't mean much. Is this possible? Am I hanging on to false hope?

@Puppymum I'm sorry for what you are going through. All you can do is be positive and hope for the best. Sending you lots of luck and hugs. X

Sorry you are going through this. I had a pregnancy of unknown location last year, but that was because the sac couldn’t be seen on the scan anywhere. I passed it a day later so I presume it must have been an ectopic which was naturally on its way out when the scan took place. So I wonder why you were given this diagnosis when the sac is visible? It’s a really difficult time, but once you get your blood test results you’ll know for sure either way. Sending you lots of positive vibes x

@puppymum How are you doing today?

I've had quite possibly the worst night of my life. If it wasn't that I work in A&E I would have been there. The pain, the bleeding, the feeling of the worst hangover I've ever had. At least I know what's happening now. Wondering whether to bother going in for the blood tests tomorrow??
