No, you can file 28 days before the the 20th May (the day you entered the UK). You can`t use the 3 month concession mentioned in other posts as you still have sufficient leave to complete your residence period (there is no shortfall) and you switched categories ( so were not granted leave in one single category).

As Lucapooka mentioned you cant apply on 19-April 12
Applications that fall short of the five year continuous period
In some cases, applicants may have been granted five years continuous leave, but due to
delayed travel will not have spent five years continuously in the UK before their current leave
expires. Caseworkers may count the period between entry clearance being granted and the
date the applicant entered the UK towards the five years, provided this period was not
longer than three months.
As I mentioned before you can apply on or after 23-04-12
