Thank you for the reassurance ladies I'm so relived right now!! I got the doppler delivered today. I drank a lot of water and tried to pick up the hb. I tried and tried and tried for about 40 minutes. Nothing besides my own heart beat and some other weird sounds. I turned the doppler off, wiped off the gel and thought to my self "this doesn't mean anything, it is too early, you're just 9 weeks and 1 day along", and started doing other things. Meanwhile all the water I had before started to really hurt my bladder, and I was about to go to the bathroom when I thought "It won't hurt to try it one more time", and I didn't even laid down, I just sat at the sofa and tried it like that...surprise surprise, caught the heart beat!! The doppler showed a very steady 179/180 rate, which I think is very good. I didn't move for 2 minutes (with the doppler on that location) just to be sure I was really hearing it! I'm so relived now!
