hcg 11449 & no yolk sac or fetal pole

Hello everyone, I went to the ER on Sept 8th for cramping. The pregnancy test was positive. However, when the U/S was done the Doctors couldn't see a pregnancy. My hcg level was 578. They have been monitoring my levels ever since. On Sept 17th my Hcg level was 11449 and when the tech conducted the U/S they saw a gestational Sac but NO yolk sac or fetal pole. Supposedly, according to the U/S I was 5wks & 1day.  Because of this the doctors scheduled me for a D&C tomorrow.  
What should I do? I mean, this has never happened to me before.  I have never had a miscarriage. Should i go ahead with the procedure or should I go for a second opinion?  HELP... I'm desperate!

Ladies,

So i went to another hospital complaining about pelvic pressure so I could get an emergency u/s done.  The doctor starts the ultrasound & tells me well the baby seems fine.  I almost died! He told me that the fetal heart beat was ok that I shouldn't worry about the pressure unless I started bleeding.  Can you ladies believe that? I have a baby inside of me.  I lived in agony for 2 whole weeks thinking I had an "blighted Ovum"  I'm not out of danger yet. i still have to start Prenatal & i want to get another u/s.  You ladies have been such good support.  Thank you so much!
