fetal heart rate

Anybody have a fast fetal heart rate and still have a boy?  Or a slow heart rate and have a girl? I've heard the wives tale about fast meaning girl and slow meaning boy and am just curious how true it is. My fetal heart rate was 175 bpm today. Super fast!!  & We're hoping for a boy.

My boy's heart rate was 143 at my 36 weeks check up. My daughter's heart rate sat at around 150-160, so it was true for me.

At the beginning my sons heart rate was always 165, now I'm 32+3 and his heart rate is in the 140's and my midwife said it will continue to get a little lower before delivery. She said the low means boy and high means girl was true for later in pregnancy :)

Mine started at 165 and turned out to be a boy. His heart rate has gotten lower and lower each time they check.

Yeah doctor said it was faster than average but still good! I was a little worried it was so fast but he said it's fine. Sounds like it's not always true! That gives my hubby hope for a boy lol.
