Pregnant after 35

Thought I was at eight weeks four days, ultrasound showed I was at six weeks.

Hi, so the title is basically the gist of my question. I went in for my first ultrasound
thinking I was at eight weeks four days.
But the ultrasound technician had trouble finding baby, then did, and found yolk sac and baby along with faint heartbeat. Measuring she said, at around six weeks. At first, we did not see the heartbeat, but then after moving around a bit we saw the flicker. She said that developmentally with the faint heartbeat, and the smaller size that we were measuring at more like six weeks one day. I am worried that this means there are problems. I am scheduled to go in one week later, which is next Monday, to see if there’s been any growth and if we can find a stronger heartbeat. Has this happened to anyone before? Thinking you were at almost 9 weeks and then finding out you’re only at six? I had a positive pregnancy test exactly one month before the date of this ultrasound.
I don’t understand how it’s possible… The possibilities, according to OB/GYN are that I am not as far as along as I thought, or possible MC happening. (No growth)
As of right now, I am still pregnant and there WAS a heartbeat, so I am crossing my fingers and toes and praying for the best.

I have not had any other symptoms of an MC. No major cramping, no heavy bleeding, nothing else that should concern me. So that being said, is it possible that I’m just a few weeks behind what I thought I was at? Has anyone else experienced this before? I’m so concerned, I really want to believe that everything will be fine at the next ultrasound. I would love some feedback from other mamas.

I was 9 weeks and measured at 5 weeks 5 days. Saw sac and heartbeat but am bleeding. Currently I am diagnosed with a subchorionic hematoma. They say it’s a waiting game to see how it will turn out. I’m super scared and anxious but I am trying to just take it day by day. Wishing you the best at your next ultrasound.
