Doppler heart rate

I just got my sonoline b in the mail. I'm 13w5d. Anyway, after a few tries and a while trying I got the heartbeat!   Seriously so excited.

My question is, has it ever not picked up on the screen correct right away? I could hear it and it took a while for the number to show up (137ish) but it wasn't registering each beat. So I used a stopwatch and counted the beats in 10 seconds to see and it was in the 150s (which is where it was at the ob appointment a few weeks ago)
Just curious! And SUPER excited!

Yep with mine I was told that the reading on the screen was often inaccurate and to count it manually.

Oh good. I was confused at first. I'm glad I'm not crazy.  

I have the same doppler. It has always been accurate. 150-165, depending on how much he is moving. Or if he is moving away.

Where did you pick the hb? I'm not having any luck  

I started really low (right above the pubic bone) and stuck it there and rotated it then moved right or left really slow and kept rotating. It took a while, but now I know where it is.

Try watching some youtube videos. I liked watching someone else using it so I could see what I was doing wrong.

I got it right after posting this LOL! Love it! At first we thought my hb was the baby but after watching some of those videos I realized that the sound was different.
