Answer

I think writing "possible miscarriage" on your script was probably more so for the next doctor that sees you. So they know you came in with concerns about a possible miscarriage. 
He didn't say that to you, your Ultrasound should normal and your hcg levels also sound normal. Of he had actually thought you were having a miscarriage he would have said so. I think it's on the paper because that was YOUR concern.

Which part of the doctor's actions are you wondering about?

Answer

When first found out I was pregnant it was early so like you I had an ultrasound at 5weeks and saw only the gestational sac. My levels were high around the same as yours and my dr kept doing blood to make sure my levels were going up but after a week still no baby seen so he started to say I was having a blighted ovum. I was panicked and freaking out. Especially cause I had a miscarriage before and he was saying my progesterone was low(which can lead to miscarriage) I ended up stopping going to him and at 9weels went to the clinic for an ultrasound that I had scheduled before and there was my precious baby. I now have a happy healthy rainbow that turns 2montha old tomorrow. No need to worry unless you're having bleeding. It's still early. Sometimes Drs expect to see something because of hcg levels when due to how early it is, the baby is still very tiny. And it also sometimes depends on if it was a vaginal or abdominal  ultrasound. I had both and they didn't see the baby at the stage.
