Chemical pregnancy?

I’m devastated. I got a VFL but definitely positive on 9 dpo and slightly darker at 10 dpo, but on 11 dpo it got lighter, and then last night and today at 12 dpo it’s completely gone 😔. Everything I’ve read says this is a chemical pregnancy, I’ve never felt so let down and sad. I know this is why they say never to test early. Lesson learned. Has anyone experienced this but still ended up pregnant? Has anyone ended up pregnant the month following a chemical pregnancy? I need hope.
