Found heartbeat on a Doppler but it’s very low?

So I’ve been trying to find a heartbeat on this Doppler for weeks and I found it today at 15 weeks 4 days but it’s only the number has changed but it’s been from about 60-80bpm and I’ve heard it should be much higher than this

That's is your own heart beat! You shouldn't use a doppler, the midwife will check the heart beat of your baby in every visit.
I'm 28 weeks now and the midwife still had a hard time to find it this week as my baby was hiding behind the placenta. The doppler picked up on my heartbeat, the placenta flow and many other things. It is very difficult to learn to separate the different sounds and till you do it can give you a lot of anxiety.
@29Cruiser123 My baby kicks a lot also when the midwife use the doppler....I guess they just don't like to be disturbed especially if the doppler has a light on?

Er in the nicest possible way its the size of a grain of rice if you are only just getting a BFP - there may not even be a heart beat yet and even if there were you wouldn't pick it up for weeks yet

If you can, I'd leave off for a few days and then test again, if your test gets darker, ask for another blood test.

If the blood test shows a negative result then I'd assume that it was likely to be a faulty batch of tests, I've had. so before and it was incredibly frustrating.

It could possibly be a chemical pregnancy if your lines don't progress. Wishing you the best.
