IVF - 6 week scan miscarried... 7 week scan shows development!

I have absolutely no idea how to word this... or even get my head around...

The day before my 6.3 week scan after our first IVF round I had a really heavy bleed and was pretty certain I had miscarried. At the scan the next day the doctor confirmed the embryo was not at the correct size for 6.3 weeks and there was missing yolk sack. He sent me home to hopefully naturally pass the rest of the ‘product’ and then I went back in today for a scan to confirm it had either gone or if I needed medication to help the process.
The doctor today noticed a gestational sack and further development from last week - no heartbeat - but some development all the same. He said he cannot terminate this pregnancy yet if there is a small chance it might be ok, even though he said in his ‘25 years experience’ this has never happened and turned out ok. I have to have another scan next week to see if it’s the same/developed more... or I could even miscarry before then.
Why are they delaying the inevitable? Surely even if they see further development next week it’s underdeveloped for its age so won’t be ok?
Does this make sense? Can anyone relate to this?

Sorry for the long post - trying to google this for some answers is obviously difficult! 😂.

Any advice or understanding of this would be amazing x

So sorry you are going through this.

Is there the possibility of having two HCG blood tests? May give you more conclusive answers either way.

Thanks Keyboard, honestly I can’t believe it I just want to move on.
I’m not sure, it was all a bit of a blur I hadn’t even processed it so didn’t ask many questions but I definitely will next week when I have the scan.

Hi op
Sorry to hear this... I've never heard of this to be fair. I think you should just wait and see what happens as there was a change from your first scan to second... I'll be praying for you. Please do keep us posted. You are in my thoughts
