Fetal Doppler

Shelby

I gave in a bought one because this pregnancy is my rainbow baby and I'm anxious. I'm currently 9w3d, and I had my first appointment about a week ago. The HR was a strong 171.

However I got my Doppler in the mail yesterday and I can't find the heartbeat on my own. Is it too early for this thing to catch it or am I doing it wrong? There are three modes and the directions didn't really explain them well. Any advice or instructions?
