Is this a chemical pregnancy?

I'm currently roughly 8dpo (I could be 11dpo if I were to go by bbt temp rises on ovusense but it confirmed ovulation a few temps after the rise), and since 6dpo I've been having cramps in the middle of my uterus and very light pinkish brown spotting.
I took a test yesterday with strong afternoon urine and got a vvvfl and was over the moon as we've been trying for 1y11m, are on our final (11th) cycle of letrozole and are applying for IVF next month. My husband even allowed himself to get his hopes up.
This morning I've done another test with first morning urine and there isn't even a line there unless you squint beyond belief at a stretch! I'm devastated.
Is there any hope?

It's very early. Wait until your period is due/late and test then.

It’s still very early. My first “squinters” were at 9dpo Here’s a comparison between 9dpo with my second pregnancy and just five days later when my period was due (14dpo). I wouldn’t rule yourself out yet but give it a couple of days (as hard as that is).

The spotting means nothing. I spotted and sometimes downright bled every day with my second from 10dpo until 15 weeks!!! This was compared with not a single bleed of any kind with my first. So many times I thought it had to be a terrible sign or imminent miscarriage, but it was simply put down to “all pregnancies are different”.

Good luck, I hope it works out for you @Jdubbs90.

@husbandcallsmepickle I know it's potentially very early but I thought the spotting (which I've never had before) could potentially be implantation bleeding. Either way it doesn't look like good news for a line to disappear the next day.

@BillyShears did you ever have lines fading and then becoming stronger a few days later? I thought the spotting could be implantation bleeding as I have never had this. I don't think it looks like there is hope for me as my line faded the next day.
