6 weeks 4 days. But I had an IUI, so the RE's office did the US. My first US with my OB was 8 weeks. An OB usually won't see you before that. Good luck!!

My doctor usually prefers 7 to 8 weeks but I convinced then to let me go at 6 weeks

It depends where you live. In the UK the official dating scan is 12wks.

Try to relax and not stress yourself too much. I had a miscarriage in February, though, so I know it's easier said than done. You don't want to go in too early and not be able to hear the heartbeat- that'd cause lots of unnecessary worry. I know the first few weeks are tough to enjoy, but try to. In the end it all passes very quickly :) congratulations!

I've gone for a dating ultrasound at 7 weeks 2 days for both my previous pregnancies and am booked for 7w2d for this one as well. I never asked to go the first 2 times, my GP just sent me. At the dating scan for my 2nd pregnancy we found out it was a blighted ovum. It was a horrible 2 weeks after that scan waiting to go back to see if there was a foetal pole and heartbeat, sadly there wasn't. This pregnancy I have a new GP and she wasn't going to send me for a dating u/s but I asked for the referral as I am extremely nervous after my last pregnancy and want to know as soon as possible that this one is on track.

8 weeks will be my first one for dating and health purposes, simply because thats the soonest they can rule out anything wrong with pregnancy, like tubal pregnancy. So I still have a little less than 2 weeks :-( Boo, lol.
