2 week wait for scan - I'm super anxious

I'm 6 weeks pregnant with a history of MMC and ectopic. Last Friday I went for a scan at what I thought was exactly 6 weeks at the EPU, but I was measuring 5 weeks. Sac measuring 8.3mm and yolk sac was seen but no heartbeat or fetal pole yet.
I was rebooked in for a scan in two weeks when I'm 7 weeks to see how everything is going and I'm so anxious.
I know 5 weeks is really early to be able to see a heartbeat etc, I was offered a scan at 6 weeks but they said it's still not 100% you'll see so better to wait
This pregnancy I've had really really strong symptoms which I didn't with my failed ones, really bad morning sickness literally all day, sore boobs, mood swings the lot so I think that's positive

Would love to hear positive stories of people that had the same situation and advice on how to get through what feels like the longest 2 weeks

I had much stronger pregnancy symptoms with my current pregnancy than my first where I had a miscarriage. It’s quite common to measure behind at that stage, the measurements are tiny and you could have ovulated and implanted later. It is better to wait the extra time and be definitive either way but fingers crossed all fine!
