Hi
From your notes it appears that you have regular cycles.
The earliest a pregnancy can be detected is 8-11 days after ovulation. So you could have done it on this day.
The sensitivity of home pregnancy test kits may vary. Therefore although the test can be positive earlier if you are taking home pregnancy test I suggest the best time to take the test was on your due date i.e. 12th.
If you are taking blood pregnancy test you can take it earlier (i,e,8-11days after ovulation)
I hope I have answered to your satisfaction.
