Should be 8+1 but measuring 5 weeks?!

Hi ladies, so sorry for the long post but I really need some help :(

•Having tracked my ovulation, I ovulated 8 weeks + 1 day ago (5th February)

•I had my first very faint positive pregnancy test on Valentine’s Day (14th February), which was 9 DPO. Pregnancy tests have continued to darken ever since.

•I had a scan on 25th March, and the sonographer said “this doesn’t look good for an early pregnancy, I cannot see the fetal pole.” (I should have been 6+6 here IF I did conceive on my actual ovulation date - 5th feb).

•I had another scan yesterday showing I am about 5 weeks, with a fetal pole that is now finally present, and measuring approximately 1.4mm

•They want to see me back for a re scan on Tuesday 11th April (just over a week since my last scan) to see if there has been any progression.

•I have had 2 consecutive chemical pregnancies before this current third pregnancy. Both me and my husband are young, we are only 23, and from what I know we are healthy.

Is there anyone who has had a similar experience and things have turned out to be ok? I’ve done nothing but rest and eat well and I’ve been taking all the vitamins I should be. And I know all womens pregnancies are different and babies can grow at different rates than others but can’t help but automatically think the worst. Not sure what else I can do at this point but I’m in despair and just need some answers or reassurance :(
