I took my 1st, 3rd, 5th and 6th pills, missed the 2nd and 4th, and then stopped taking my pills (Diane-35). I had 2 1/2 days of heavy, bright red bleeding (usually brown and lasts 5 days) on days 17-19, 9 days short of expected period. Even though I had this bleed, could I be pregnant? And when would I be able to test?

Sound like the irregular pill taking has messed up your cycle. Doubt if you would be pregnant with such heavy bleeding just after your ovulation time.
Some of the early pregnancy tests claim you can test three weeks from your unprotected sex date. Others ask you to wait until 4 weeks or after your missed period.
