Possible Blighted Ovum

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and what the outcome was?
This is my second pregnancy after having my DD 5 years ago. I had my implant removed at the start of February and fell pregnant in March.
My last LMP was the 21st of February. I used Clearblue ovulation tests and got my static smiley face on the 10th of March and we DTD only once that day as my husband was then away with work.
I got my positive pregnancy test on the 21st of March (11DPO) and on the 2nd of April I got a clearblue digital result of pregnant and 3+ (23DPO).
Everything seemed to be going well, sore boobs tiredness, food aversion, I'm being sick multiple times a day etc.
According to my LMP, I should be 7+1 weeks. We booked an early scan for yesterday the 12th of April just to confirm everything was going okay before we told our DD but unfortunately she could only see a gestational sac and nothing else. The sac was measuring below the guidelines to state it as an unviable pregnancy and I have to be re-scanned in two weeks time. She said that maybe I'm earlier than I thought and may only be 5-6 weeks which is why she couldn't see much.
I've googled blighted ovum and I know HCG still produces which may indicate why I'm getting strong pregnancy symptoms and I did a test this morning out of curiosity and the lines are so strong. It's disheartening to think all this is going on and there isn't even a baby there
So far, I haven't had any bleeding or spotting.
Just wondering if anyone else had similar experience and what the outcome was?

Re: Possible Blighted Ovum
Sorry you are going through this. I would say trust your medical provider and wait until the follow up US. That's about all you can do and honestly I would stop testing as it won't give you any answers.
Thanks.

RE 1: ALL the testing - 'unexplained' "Yinz can do IVF or try on your own"
Feb 2017 - 4th MC: 6 weeks
RE 2: More tests. Still 'unexplained.' Called fat for an entire hour-long appointment, cried a lot
Feb 2019 - 5th MC: 6-7 weeks
IUD - March 2019-March 2023
RE 3: Repeat all the tests. Hoping to try IVF.
