Answered by Dr. Ramadevi Wani (11 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
6 weeks 5 days is from the date of your period.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome back.

Ultrasound measurements are done taking into account the day of your last menstrual period. That is how the machines are programmed. So when it says 6 weeks 5 days it is from the date of your period.
conception date is the time of ovulation. In a regular 28 day cycle it is 2 weeks after your period .
So from conception date you are 4 weeks 5 days pregnant and from last period 6 weeks 5 days.
I hope this clarifies things for you.
If you need any further clarifications, pl do write back
