It's one with a display. Find this very useful but they are a little more expensive. I would have liked one that's records but that was even more. Try to get one that is 2mhz apparantly they work better than a 3mhz. Also buy extra gel.

Hug
I used mine first time round at 16 weeks as that's when I bought it. I had no trouble finding the heartbeat after that time. But with this pregnancy I tried at 10 weeks and couldn't find it. So I panicked but told myself it was too early. I wanted to wait till I had my 12 week scan but couldn't so tried again at 12 weeks and I found it twice. But only for a couple a seconds each time. Bubs busy moving around! I really recommend getting a Doppler if you are very nervous about your pregnancy but I wouldn't try to use it too early. How many weeks are you?

Hi I would defo recommend getting a Doppler. I decided to buy mine rather than rent as I knew I'd use it my whole pregnancy. And now I get to use it again. I had 4 miscarriages before having my daughter and I worried the whole time. When you feel movement it's not a constant thing so if I didn't feel movement for say 1/2 a day I'd use my Doppler. Good luck x

After a surgery in August 2009, I was able to get pregnant again via in vitro in October 2009 and am newly pregnant!

Open Pregnancy After Loss/Infertility
I have had one late term loss at 22 weeks and one miscarriage two months later. Looking for a story of loss/miscarriage followed by a healthy baby born.
Open Adoption
We are going to start looking into adoption.
Treatments
- In Vitro Fertilization Not Working
- We struggled with unsuccessful fertility treatments for a year and a half but never got pregnant. We have done IVF 3 times and have gotten pregnant everytime but lost one at 6 months one at 6.5 weeks and are currently looking at a probably misscarriage right now. We dont think its working for us so we want to explore adoption.
