I'm slim (5'10" and currently 140lbs) and for anyone who is/was a similar size in 1st tri, how far were you when you first successfully used doppler?

PGAL brian is killing me, I'm counting down days until I can start using my doppler...

I am not slim, but have I have doppler and read MANY reviews. I was able to find the HB at 9 1/2 weeks. This was pretty typical for the reviews I read before buying. It took a VERY long time and a lot of patience but we found it. At about 12 weeks it was easier to find with my home doppler but still took patience. Now I can find it almost as quickly as they do at the OB office.

I found it around 9-10 weeks, too, but not consistently. I'd hear it for a second and then not be able to find it again for a few days. It went on like that for at least 3 weeks before it was pretty consistent that I could find it.

I'm bigger than you (5'6" and 150 lbs) but I first heard the heartbeat at 7w5d (which is crazy early). Starting then, I could find it every few days but not every day. By 9 weeks I could find it every day.
