Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you that an ultrasound done at 6 weeks is accurate within 3-5 days either way (so altogether a range of about one week) Using the information you provided, I calculate your estimated conception date to be January 22.  This would put conception somewhere between Jan 19 and Jan 25.  I think the Feb 10 guy is unlikely to be the father.
Good luck!

February 10 guys is not an option. You would have conceived in the next-to-last week of January or the last week of January.
