you'll find strength gains always preceed mass gains for the majority of people ;)

If your diet is right, you should grow from every workout. I'm not talking great wads of muscle from every session, but they should be producing gains fairly consistently. Every time you step into the gym it should be for the purpose of making gains. Diet is a crucial factor.

You will see a percieved strength gain as your body learns to recruit more fibres as you train. This is due to decreased neuromuscular inhibition, but unless there are sufficient calories in reserve, you won't have given the body the tools to grow. It can't make muscle from thin air. Pop your diet on the board in the relevant section & you'll get some good feedback (no pun intended).

I'm having a similar problem at the minute. I'm still doing the same weight but my chest seems to be actually getting smaller, I dont know if its because I'm losing body weight and my chest fat is going or something to do with low test levels.

Mant, if you are cutting then there is a chance you are losing fat. If the weight is staying the same then that seems like a sensible suggestion. It may however be that your chest is overtrained. Maybe take a week off chest exercises and come back to it with a reduced weight. Increase the weight each session and see if that helps any.
