You guys are definitely taking some big steps for a relationship so young as just 9 months.  Hopefully there's something we're missing like you've known each other way longer and have been good friends and this was the natural next step.

One thing you should note: Don't have sex every day!  It actually doesn't help matters.

Second thing: you can go to your doctor for a blood test, which is much more sensitive than the home pregnancy tests.  Of course, your body does stop producing hCG eventually (around 8 weeks, if I remember correctly from physio) as the baby takes over producing the hormones necessary to sustain the pregnancy, so it's possible you didn't start testing until way later than 8 weeks (doubtful if you've been TTC for at least these 5 months.).

Best of luck to you and your boyfriend on this endeavor!

first, in spite of the fact that you are trying to get pregnant, I really hope you don't. You've only been together for 9 months, you're not even twenty. And unless you were both child prodogies, you are not financially ready to have a kid. So please really really rethink this decision.

but on the other had go see a doctor, some pregnancy tests don't work on certain people so well (or it may be the test). you probably are if you have a bump and haven't had a period in 5 months. If you are I wish you the best of future and hope everything goes well.
