Sonoline B Fetal Doppler Tips?

Does anyone have the Sonoline B Fetal Doppler that can give me some tips?  I have only ever found the heartbeat once, every other time I keep picking up my own.  I am almost 14 weeks, so I know the baby is still pretty low.  Should the baby be more centered?  Or if he/she moves to either side how far over do you think is the most I should be looking?  I thought I had read that orange juice makes the baby move around more, which is why I avoided it before my NT scan last week, should I try drinking some OJ before I try again?  Also, do you recommend a full or empty bladder?  I try not to freak out when I can't find it, but it's hard not to... any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Start at the midline of your belly between your belly button and pubic bone. Rotate the Doppler in little tiny circles. Look left and right a few inches. I had to watch a YouTube video before I could find our heartbeat. Also, make sure the little number next to the heart says 1. I tried using mine and it was on mode 3 so it didn't read out the heartbeat count. Good luck!

    I usually find my baby very low (like, directly above my pubic bone low - nowhere near belly button) and towards the left side.  Before I knew she hung out on the left a lot, I would stay right above the pubic bone and move slowly from side to side.
