And you can get a positive test as early as 8dpo.

For most women, they get a positive at more like 11 - 12dpo.

Not really, or it would mean your luteal phase was too short to support a pregnancy.

No. You ovulate 14 days before your period.

It’s not always 14days, but it’s almost always 10-15 days.

No you can't ovulate a few days before your period. As PP said most women ovulate 10-15 days before their period. Some women have slightly shorter luteal phases but this normally means they struggle to get pregnant.
If you ovulated 5 days before your period your period would start before the embryo implants meaning you could not get pregnant.

And the earliest you could test for pregnancy and get a possible positive result would be 8 days after sex. But thats assuming you ovulated that day/ next day and implanted quick and had enough hormone to test positive early. But to get a reliable result it would be 12-14 days after ovulation. Which could be 12-17 days after sex (sperm can survive a few days before ovulation)
