Heart rate linked to gender

So, for the last couple years I've kind of tested out the old heart rate wives' tale with pregnant friends, family, and myself with DS. Maybe it's just coincidence, but EVERY SINGLE person who was pregnant with a boy had a baby with a lower heart rate, and everyone pregnant with a girl had a baby with a higher heart rate. I'd say it was around 10-15 people. My doctor said there is some accuracy to it, but of course its not 99% accurate or anything. So, im just curious for those of you who are STM+, was your baby's heart rate in the high or low range and did it go along with the wives' tale of boys being lower and girls being higher? I got to hear this baby's heartbeat at 10 weeks and the HR was 167, which would be considered "boy range" for this far along. DS HR was 169 at 9.5 weeks so i'm anxious to see if my predictions of another little boy are right!
