You could be further along than the Dr initially thought not abnormal at all

6 weeks 3 days is how much the baby is measuring..

my last period was 6 weeks 5 days and it was a very abnormal period.. just brown blood for 2 days then  got heavy then stopped.

2 different men I had seen in the space of 2ish weeks .. I thought the baby was my partners till I seen I was 2 weeks ahead ..

I'm confused. You're measuring only 2 days behind. 6 weeks 5 days vs 6 weeks 3 days :-/

What are you basing 4 weeks off of?

4 weeks since last period? 4 weeks since ovulation? 4 weeks since...?

You might be misunderstanding what the doctor or tech told you. A medical person always counts a pregnancy from the first day of the woman's last period.  NOT from the assumed day of conception, which is obviously later than the first day of her last period. If you think you conceived 4 weeks ago and the doctor tells you that the pregnancy "weeks" count is 6, you are actually both saying the same thing. He is saying six weeks since your last period (or a calculated last period date based on averages, if your cycles are irregular) and you are saying 4 weeks since the sex that produced the baby.
