Viable Pregnancy Limbo - anyone in the same boat?

I’m currently 8 weeks pregnant. After some bleeding at 6 weeks, I was referred to the early pregnancy unit for a scan to investigate. All that was visible was a small gestational sac.
follow up scan a week later showed the sac had grown. But still empty.
roll on today for the second follow up and the sac has grown again, with a possible shadow of a yolk sac. But they can’t confirm viable pregnancy or miscarriage until the scan is clearer.
I’ve spent the best part of 3 weeks in limbo already with another week to go. My anxiety is off the charts. I’m an emotional mess. And I guess a bit lonely.
Does anyone have any experience of this? How did you survive the waiting?

Have the hospital been monitoring your hcg? Sorrt its not something reassuring but when I had a miscarriage a few years ago where I had some bleeding and nothing visible on scans, my hcg was rising but not doubling which meant they suspected I would miscarry, I think the first had gone up by about 80% increase but next was about 60% next about 50% and I miscarried a few days later. Hopefully you're just earlier on than you thoughtx
