Hi,
Ovulation usually occurs 14 days before the next period. Your shortest cycle is of 25 days. Considering this your expected next period is on 17th. and ovulation around 3rd.

The earliest Pregnancy can be detected is 8-11 days after ovulation. So you may do the pregnancy test on 14th.
But I advise you to do it if you miss the period only.
I hope I have answered your concerns.
