early pregnancy

How early were you when you first used a home doppler to hear your babies heartbeat?

I was on the patch, which I used back to back, only giving myself a break when I had really bad cramps or was bloated, so I don't know when my LMP was. Back in June, I had several weeks of nausea, which I had put down to the heatwaves we have been experiencing, but as I was heavily bloated too I decided at the end the month to take the patch off to have a period, as you can imagine that didn't happen so I took a pregnancy test on the second of July which was positive. As it was developing, the test line came up immediately before it reached the control line. On the twenty-third of July, I was curious and decided to try my home doppler to see if I could find a heartbeat, which I did within five minutes, and on the twenty fourth, I had my booking appointment and showed the midwife the recording who confirmed it was likely baby so my question is what's the earliest you have heard your baby when listening on a home doppler?
