Chemical experiences? I believe I’m having a chemical pregnancy

I didn’t track ovulation this last cycle so unsure when I would’ve ovulated. AF was due 02/01 and didn’t arrive so took a pregnancy test which was negative. Started my period on 04/01 and bled until 07/01, very much similar to my usual period but I’d say ever so slightly lighter and shorter by around a day. I had a hospital appointment this morning with Gynaecology for something unrelated and they requested a urine sample as standard which came back with faint positives on two pregnancy tests. He said to wait a week and do another one as he said it wouldn’t continue to progress. I’ve been so upset all day, and have had twinges/cramps in my lower abdomen throughout the day. This evening I’ve started bleeding again but it’s pinky/orangy and have done another test which was negative.

What have everyone else’s experiences been with chemical pregnancy?

I had a couple. I stopped testing early and didn't bother until I'd missed 2 periods - I had PCOS which meant strange period cycles was very normal for me.

I never normally test early, but I had discharge that I wouldn’t normally have (tmi sorry) which lasted for days. I wouldn’t have ever tested today, so I would have never known and I think I just feel shocked more than anything
