Pregnant but told only 10% chance of viability

I track my cycles and through OPKs am 99% sure I ovulated on CD14. I’ve always been very regular with 27 day cycles. The only time I’ve ever been late for my period is when I’ve been pregnant.

Anyway, on 12DPO I had what I thought was the start of my period. Heavy bleeding for a day which tapered off to a week of brown coffee grounds discharge. At 15dpo I got the faintest positive pregnancy test. At 21dpo I my beta hcg levels were 281. 48 hours later they were 781. Today at 6+0 I had a scan where they could see a pregnancy sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole.

I feel like the late positive, low hcg and bleeding all mean this won’t be a successful pregnancy. Today they said about 90% of pregnancies at 6 weeks show a fetal pole and I should be “prepared for a negative outcome.” I’m really not sure what to expect next and would really appreciate honest stories (good or bad) from people who have gone through similar. Thank you!

im sure I’ve read that a fetal pole might not be seen til 6w3d. Have they arranged a follow up scan?

Sounds like you may have implanted and potentially ovulated later than you thought, give the positive was only faint at 15dpo. Is there the possibility this happened? It could put you a good few days earlier than you think, meaning no concern at all not to see a fetal pole yet.
Wait for a follow up scan at least a week later?
Hoping it's not too long a wait and positive news for you
