Best time for an early scan?

I went at 7 weeks 2 days. It was a pretty good time to go. It feels like ages, but it's worth it.

IVF clinic does them at roughly 7 weeks. By that time, allowing for some natural variation in growth rates, you should see a heartbeat.
Do you need a dating scan, or is it just to see?

I had one at 6 weeks exactly, saw the heart flickering away, but it was to small to measure accurately. Had my repeat one at 8 weeks, it was fab, saw bub and heartbeat was 169 bpm.
But about 7 weeks on is good.
