Fetal Doppler

Any of you ever use a home fetal doppler? If so, did you have luck locating both heartbeats? 

I just purchased one and only found 1 heartbeat. I am not thinking the other isn't there I just didn't have any more time to look because I had to leave for work. I'm looking to hear successes of other women carrying multiples with hearing and distinguishing between both heartbeats.

Thanks.

    I was able to listen to each heartbeat on Doppler. It was easier after an ultrasound where I learned where they were positioned.

    I agree with PP. Also, I didn't find them too easily until 16 weeks or so.

    I was able to hear both heartbeats!!!! I was so excited! It took me only about 15 mins this time and I was able to locate both. They are down super low, near the pubic hair line and then to the right near the pubic bone. I felt a sigh a relief when I heard them because my last appt was 6/4 and my next isn't until 7/10. Seems so far and I was getting anxious but I feel better now knowing my little kumquats are okay.
