Frustrating 6 Week Scan

So I had my 6 week scan today and am so anxious now. My sac looked right in terms of size. The tech and Dr. kept saying they "could kind of maybe see echoes sometimes" in the upper left of my sac. But they couldn't see a fetal pole or a clear heartbeat. They took blood for an HCG check, and I have to wait 3 more hours for the results. I have another (vaginal) ultrasound next Monday. I'm so anxious. They said that if my HCG levels come back good, then I have like a 50% chance of it being a viable pregnancy, but if they're low I'm having a miscarriage. If they don't see a heartbeat on the next scan then it's not a viable pregnancy.

I already love this little bean so much, and I'm so scared. I don't know how they got a 50% chance of miscarriage just because there was trouble getting the heartbeat this time. It's so early. Surely the HCG levels should mean things are ok???? (If they're good I mean.) IDK, I'm just so stressed about this. I want my baby to be ok.

EDIT: Hcg came back at 21,012. They were 171 exactly three weeks ago, so that feels promising.
