Blighted Ovum, still no miscarriage or symptoms, I'm 16 weeks. dnc or pill options?

So, I wasn't able to see the doctor until I was 13 weeks, The doctor saw 2 sacs, I first so excited, It is my first pregnancy. So to be blessed with Twins was amazing as I'm 37. But we soon saw there we're no yolk sacs, no poles and 1 sac was twice as small as the other. 1 week later went to follow up, still no yolk sacs/poles and the small sac was collapsing. The doctor sent for blood work and My hcg levels went from 700, 400, 200, so he said the sac I had left was a Blighted ovum. My doctor wanted to schedule the dnc as he feels its less painful and easier than the pill, but there we're scheduling conflicts. Now I'm 16 weeks and my doctor suggested the pill because he can't do the dnc. I had hoped my body would just naturally make the decision for me, but nothing. My body still thinks it's pregnant. I go today to have the ultrasound and to be given the pill prescription. But I've read so many things I'm scared. I almost want to ask them today to schedule the dnc with a different doctor. I'm secretly hoping we'll see something and find out it was misdiagnosed. I"m also hoping if it is a blighted ovum that there are no complications in miscarriage. Any feedback on miscarriages or anything really would be appreciated, as I feel as though I'm an emotional mess.
