Foetus measuring small and elongated gestational sac

I am a 37-year-old female, first-time pregnant (7 weeks and 6 days.) I had my first vaginal scan today. There was a heartbeat but the gestational sac is of this elongated shape (see picture) and the fetus is measuring small (6 weeks 2 days)

The doctor didn't say much negative or positive. He wasn't sure why the sac was of that shape so he scheduled another scan for the next week. I don't really know what to make of it. Is it normal or is it not a viable pregnancy?

Has anyone had a similar experience and carried a healthy pregnancy to full term?
