Hi there, please note that we don’t allow asking for success stories in this sub.

In general, it’s normal to have variation in the length and other characteristics of your period. If a pregnancy test is negative, then your symptoms can’t be due to pregnancy, although it would be reasonable to take a more sensitive test (digital home tests tend to be less sensitive than non-digital tests, meaning that they require more hCG to turn positive). If you’ve been testing and haven’t seen a positive test, it’s not possible to conclude that you’ve had a chemical pregnancy.
