When can you have an early scan??

Rosie
Recently found out I am pregnant although it is still very early, but I am just wondering when it's possible to pay for an early scan in the UK? I've googled and everywhere says 7 weeks min, but is this 7 weeks from the first day of my last menstrual cycle, or 7 weeks from conception? I think I want to go for one just because I'm a natural worrier and want to know more where I stand but confused about the dates?
