went to the er and the drs are baffled. i need some insight

According to my lmp I'm officially 5 weeks along but I've been having persistent painful cramping that landed me in the er tonight. They checked mybhcg level which was 1166 but could not find anything on my transvaginal ultrasound. No sac no hint of anything in my uterus and apparently my levels are high enough that something should have showed up. They are having me see a specialist tomorrow morning because they had no definitive answer. Seems like they were going with possible miscarriage. But I've had no bleeding...not even any spotting. I have 0 pregnancy symptoms...my breasts were a little swollen last week but they seem to be getting back to their normal size. I'm 28...no children and no clue what all of this means. They checked for signs of an ectopic pregnancy as well but didn't find anything leading them to believe that I have a tubal pregnancy. What is going on??? I'm freaking out and I have no idea how I'm going to get any sleep tonight. Its very unsettling when your body confuses several doctors..even the head doctor at the er.

Google molar pregnancy.  I work in pathology and I see it quite alot unfortunately.  It might explain this - I judt know its a condition where the body thinks its pregnant but isn't.

I'm really freaking out. I don't understand how no one at the er could offer me any type of explanation. The discharge paperwork doesnt even say anything. This is awful
