Anyone use a home doppler? how often is it okay to use one? After multiple losses, every pain, stretch, loss of symptoms, etc, has my anxiety sky high.

I used one. I only started using it when I had multiple ultrasounds and felt that I could identify the noise and also when it was late enough in the pregnancy to do it. You have to be careful not to freak yourself out. It worked out for me, but I can see how it would not be helpful as well.

Mine came yesterday! I think I found the heartbeat, but it wasn't easy, but I am only 10-11 weeks. I don't want to use it too much, I plan to use it like once or twice a week.

I used one after multiple losses and it gave me incredible peace of mind. I used it nearly every day from weeks 11-40! Usually in the morning before work and again in the evening. A few times when I had a freak out because I couldn't feel movement I rushed home from wherever I was to have a listen. It helped to ease my anxiety significantly.
Hugs! Pregnancy after loss is especially challenging.

I used one. I didn't hear the heartbeat until 12 weeks so that was a bit stressful, and then I limited myself to twice a week, but it gave me a lot of peace of mine between ultrasounds until I started to feel regular movement.

Used one in my last pregnancy from 13 weeks-18 ish. In this pregnancy I bought one and used it from 10 weeks to 18 ish. I haven't used it since because I could feel some movement. I used it twice a week except for times I had a random freak out and had to hear the heartbeat that day.
Well worth it to have one!

I borrowed one from another bee got my last pregnancy as I had just experienced a loss. It helped a ton with my anxiety and I found I didn't need to use it once I could feel the baby move consistently. If I get pregnant again I will definitely use one once or twice a week for peace of mind.
