Weeing after sex stopped pregnancy?

Ok, so I know this is most likely a really silly question, and I know how the female anatomy works and so I also know it really most likely wouldn’t effect anything.
However, without making it too confusing, me (27) and DP (36) have a 6 year old DD and I am currently 7 months pregnant with DS. When I was younger I used to get bad UTI’s after sex, no one ever told me at that time that they could help to be prevented by having a wee after but I obviously know that now. Around that time I also got pregnant with DD, it was on the first cycle after taking the implant out (and not having a wee after sex). Fast forward to trying to conceive DS, it actually took almost 3 years of trying - each time we tried to conceive was always followed by a wee to stop any UTI’s, except from the month that we did eventually conceive. Which I just felt like was a huge coincidence!
So I know my theory is most likely rubbish, but I can’t help but wonder if there could be reasoning behind it? Even if it was more about a gravity thing rather than a having a wee thing!

I have actually no idea if it helped at all, but when TTC I would avoid going to the toilet afterwards for fear of wiping away the good stuff and instead would lie with my legs up the wall to encourage the swimmers in the right direction.
Probably completely unscientific though.

Haha love this. I think when you’re trying to conceive you’re willing to give anything a go aren’t you!

Noted 🫣 as I said, I know it was a really silly question. Was just on the off chance that there was a teeeeeny bit of science behind it and it wasn’t just a complete coincidence - but it obviously was just a coincidence!

Hmmm, they’re different areas, but going to to the loo should mean that the swimmers might fall back out too… I did the legs up afterwards thing. A baby was made! Maybe a coincidence!

I always pee after. Gravity does its thing of course… Currently pregnant 😂

I went to the bathroom immediately and got pregnant after only having sex once that month.

Im always afraid of this 🤣 so I avoid weeing straight after and push a pillow under my bum to tilt my pelvis. Probably makes no difference but I feel like Im doing something to help it that makes sense haha
