Fetal heart doppler

I just purchased a doppler. Since having had the miscarriage i wanted it for a little reassurence in between visits. Can anyone who has used one tell me how far along you were when you first used it and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat?

Thanks,
Rossie

Thanks Aileen. I have an ultrasound at about 8 weeks, and then i see my ob at 9 weeks. He likes to check at 9 weeks with one. So i probably won't try it till 10wks.

I rented one but not until 12 weeks.  I didn't want to freak myself out if I couldn't hear anything.  Some women are lucky and can pick something up around 10 weeks, some can't even past 14 weeks.  It depends on so many different factors.  I didn't use mine until I went to the Dr. and she was able to pick it up fairly easily with hers.
