Nope. None of them are.

For these contraction forms to be correct, you need to use them only when "had" is an auxiliary or helping verb.
I had a book. ("had" is the main verb and is not to be contracted)
I'd been staying at her house until I found my own place. ("had" is an auxiliary verb with "been" and thus can be used in contracted form)
