Chemical pregnancy

So last Saturday I got a BFP. It was a faint line but it was definitely there. So I tested again Sunday and it was positive again but not much darker. Monday I took a clear blue digital one and it said positive. I was having a lot of cramping but read online that was normal in beginning stages of pregnancy, so I wasn't too concerned. I was just worried that my lines weren't getting darker. 
Yesterday morning I woke up and took another test and the line was more faint than it ever was.  Almost immediately after that I started spotting. Needless to say I had a chemical pregnancy and was devastated. I am having very bad cramping now and I am so depressed and upset. 
Has anyone else experienced this? How long did the cramping last? This is like PMS on steroids!
