@Blueyedsky ended up ordering the Angelsounds, supposed to get it by the end of this week, cheap won out, haha. By the time I try it I'll only be 10 weeks which I know can be early so I'm trying to keep an open mind and not freak out if it takes a few weeks to hear it!
Hi, I use the simple and cheap Angle Sound monitor. Worked from 10+4 (didn't try before) and we heard the machine gun-heart beat very clearly. Spotted a little bit the day before so it was very reassuring. I'm now 11+0 :-)
I bought a sonoline b Doppler online for $42 shipped. It arrived when I was 8.5 weeks and we couldn't hear the heart beat until 10 weeks. But once we did, it was the most amazing thing ever! I haven't had an US yet so this was the first time I had definitive proof that my little baby was in there! It made it real for both my husband and I!

I heard it at 9 weeks exactly with the angelsounds every woman is different though. You can search YouTube for angelsounds at 9 weeks etc and that'll help!
I have the Sonoline B Doppler and listen to baby every night since about 10 weeks. I don't put too much faith into the heart rate numbers. At home the doppler was saying baby's heart rate was ~140 but at the OB office the heart rate measured at ~160. Just last night I went to the same spot I always do to find the baby's heart beat and it wasn't there, almost freaked out. Got up to do something, came back and tried again and he was right there. Seems like we have a little bugger on our hands already
I have the same one! Haven't been able to find the HB yet but I keep trying! I have a very rapid heartbeat myself, which has only gotten worse with pregnancy so I can hear mine all through the placenta but not his/hers!
@Blueyedsky I am 90% sure I just heard the heartbeat! I definitely found my own heartbeat, loud and on both sides at the same rate. It took a long time, but closer to the middle I finally heard a thumping that was much faster, it just sounded faint/further away, but since I'm not even 10w yet that makes sense since my uterus likely won't be close to the surface for a few more weeks, and definitely is further down than my arteries. Next time now that I know that it can sound far away I hope to find it faster. YouTube videos definitely helped, I would have thought my own heartbeat was the baby's if I didn't watch a few
