Timing of testing
If I think conception was October 25th and implantation bleeding occurred 12 days later, on the evening of November 6th (brownish mucous-like discharge lasting only a few hours), is today, November 15th, too soon to get a positive test, even with a sensitive test like First Response?
Any and all thoughts/opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

I can't really say for sure when my period is/was due because of getting off the pill I think my cycle is screwed up, and I have no idea when I started ovulating after getting off the pill.
I got off the pill and don't remember bleeding until almost a full week after. Based on that, my period would have been due the day BEFORE the possible conception date. If that's the case, would I have to wait until my next period would be due (in one week) to get an accurate test?
But for some reason I seem to remember getting off the pill on Sept. 20th but not getting my period until October 3rd. I don't know why that date sticks in my mind. If I follow that schedule, I should have gotten a period again on or around October 31st, about a week after the possible conception date. If that's the case, I might have been ovulating around the time of the possible conception date, and my period is now 2 weeks late, so a test could possibly be pretty accurate, couldn't it?
Then again, it's possible what I thought was implantation bleeding might have actually been just me starting to ovulate again finally after stopping the pill. In that case I couldn't be pregnant because intercourse was 12 days earlier. (This is the scenario I'm kind of hoping for!)
I had no symptoms at all except unusual gas and bloating up until today (but I attributed that to starting a new supplement regimen two weeks ago, when I began taking a lot of supplements and a high dose probiotic after not taking any supplements at all). I actually have to unbutton my jeans today because my lower abdomen is so full, and now I have some very slight cramping, not painful or anything. I'm also a little constipated, but I've been taking supplements that could cause that and not drinking nearly enough water, which I'm trying to get better at. But if that small amount of brownish mucous on November 6th was actually ovulation, I could potentially have PMS right now.
Or it was implantation bleeding and I could be 3 weeks pregnant and starting to experience signs.
I don't know, I'm so nervous and confused, and I am mad at myself for not paying more attention and knowing at least the date of my last period. I just wish I knew if I could be fairly confident in the four negative pregnancy tests I've taken in the last 3 days (including one early response one), or when would be the earliest I could actually take a test and trust the results more.
