I don't know about any web sites but when I was 9 and a half weeks the babies heart beat was 165 and I commented that it seemed high so I guess I was having a girl and the nurse practitioner said that the high heart rate used to determine gender is pretty good predictor but only if used in later pregnancy. She said that when babies are younger they have higher heart rates and that mine was perfectly normal!

The human embryonic heart rate (EHR) accelerates at 3.3 beats per minute per day during the first month of beating. Beginning at a rate near the mother’s, at approximately 80-85 B/M at the start of the 5th week, the heart rate accelerates to a mean of 175 B/M (+/-20 = 2SD) at 9.2 LMP weeks. It then abruptly begins to decelerate. This increase is approximately 10 beats every 3 days until the early 9th week.
Good luck

No need for website. Baby's heartrate should be between 120 and 160. But if the baby's really active, it'll go higher at some points. You've got an active one!

Wow that's a fast one, totally normal though. The old wives tale would predict you are having a girl. here's an article about fetal heart rates.
