Progesterone masked chemical pregnancy

Hi,
I have been having my 3rd round of IVF and had our first positive pregnancy test about 3 weeks ago. We did 4 tests all positive, not super dark lines but I didn't think they were faint. I have had some symptoms, nausea, dry heaving, sore boobs, constipation, cramps and twinges. Although nervous for my early pregnancy scan (7 weeks) I did feel pregnant. Today, I had my scan and there was no sign of pregnancy, the nurse thinks I had a chemical pregnancy. I have also had a blood test and urine test to confirm. I am feeling really deflated and stupid, feel like I should have continued testing and now paranoid I was looking for symptoms. I have been taking progesterone, which I think blocked my period and probably caused some if the symptoms. Has anybody else had a similar experience? After 5 years of infertility I am exhausted and dreading Xmas 🎄
