FYI - AMAZING Fetal Doppler that works and eases my worries

So I was going back and forth on whether to buy a fetal doppler. Many people say they barely work others say it might make you panic if you can't find the heartbeat. I decided to get one after reading some amazing reviews. I also went into it thinking if I don't hear anything no big deal, but if I do it would be a GREAT experience for my husband and I.
We bought this one off of amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z52R76S?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=od_aui_detailpages00
I'm so glad I bought this one because it works so well. Here are reasons I love it:
1. The instructions explain how and where to first find your heartbeat and then to find the babies. There is a CLEAR difference in the sound of your heartbeats and it would be difficult to mistake your heartbeat for the babies if you first listen to yours. My heartbeat was a very slow calm rhythm and the babies sounded like a really quick gallop. It sounded exactly like the 8 week internal ultrasound one. I didn't try this one until 10 weeks.
2. It comes with headphones and an adapter so you and your spouse can listen to the heartbeat at the same time.
3. Its so easy to use and you don't have to buy a specific gel, we just used olive oil from the kitchen.
4. The directions and diagrams make it easy to find. Also there are so many reviews online that if you can't find it there are tips in the reviews. Mine ended up being lower closer to my vagina then where I was originally looking. I couldn't find it and then i let my husband try it and he found it instantly.
Just wanted to let you know of a great fetal doppler in case you are searching - I know there are SO many out there and wanted to make your search a little easier. If your not interested no worries, just keep scrolling

Out of curiosity, is that an affiliate link for Amazon? Will you be paid if we click that link?

Just cautioning those who purchase but can't find a heartbeat. Everyone's experience is different but don't panic if you're early and not finding anything.
Also, I've found the baby pretty low, like right by my pubic bone, and I've had to really press down to hear the baby. Angle the wand in every direction and listen for the galloping. It's so strange, even when the wand is pressed down in one area, if I tilt it another direction, the heartbeat is completely gone. It takes a while to find it the first time... but once you do, the 2nd and 3rd time gets easier.
My friend who is a pediatrician thought I was lucky to find the baby so early, she said it takes a while to be able to hear the heartbeat. She told me that doctors usually don't wanna try it till at least 12 weeks.
Good luck ladies!
ETA: I had an empty stomach and full bladder.
