Scared , Brown bitty discharge for 5 days

I'm feeling so upset and worried at the moment, last week we went for an early scan hoping to hear a heartbeat, based on my last period my husband and I thought I was 7 weeks , on the day of the scan I had started having a brown bitty discharge so I was worried before even going .
Anyway got to the scan , started scanning me and I was told I had a tilted cervix and they couldn't see anything so would need a transvaginal which I agreed to , upon scanning they found a gestational sac and a yolk sac but no heartbeat or fetal pole and measured me at 6 weeks 1 day. They asked me to return a week later.
For the past 5 days i have still had brown discharge which is mainly in the toilet with brown floating bits , I went to the EPU yesterday who couldn't tell me anymore, they took a swab of the discharge and just told me my cervix is closed which means it isn't an active miscarriage but my Cervix is raw and looks grazed !
The nurses said they couldn't say whether the brown discharge is good or bad because what is normal for one person isn't normal for another and just advised me to take it day by day and have my follow up private scan nearer to 8 weeks so I'm now booked in for next Tuesday .
Feels like absolute torture I can't stop crying and worrying not knowing what is going on 😞 I saw my midwife the day of my scan and she told me not to worry about brown blood but I can't help it , I have read so many things about other ladies miscarriages starting with brown discharge.
My concern is the brown discharge and the scan only measuring us at 6 weeks 1 day and there being no fetal pole when we had us down as 7..its breaking my heart
I just wondered whether anyone else has experienced the same and whether you had a positive outcome ?

Hi darling, sending hugs 🫂 it’s so bloody stressful. I had a lot of brown spotting in the early stages with my second pregnancy. It was old implantation blood apparently. I really hope everything works out for you xx

I'm not sure on the discharge sorry - you can probably find 100 positive outcomes and 100 negative ones on MumsNet but what are you working out your dates on? LMP or did you track ovulation?

UPDATE

Thank you ladies , had a scan today and found a baby and heartbeat, they've measured baby at 6 weeks 3 days which is mind boggling after scanning gestational sac at 6 weeks 1 day last week - I'm still really worried they still don't know what the brown discharge is she had a good luck and said she couldn't see a bleed anywhere , they think its coming from.my cervix , I've had a few pains today in my uterus area , its all so scary not knowing what's good and what's bad , I'm a worrier anyway and came off my sertaline as soon as I found out I was pregnant on recommendation from the doctor

Excellent news!! Fingers crossed everything works out perfectly for you xx🤞🏼

Despite hearing a heartbeat I'm still worried my discharge now is a mix of brown and red blood now its really eating away at me not knowing what is going on , it seems the EPU and midwife aren't interested because it's so early on 😭

Flowers Have you told them you are still having the discharge and there's some red in it now? You may have to be persistent and really advocate for yourself, stressing that there has been a change.
