Can we pee after intercourse if trying to conceive?

Question

Bit of an awkward question but we are trying for a baby and i always heard you shouldnt get up immediately. Now im confused if peeing after will wash everything away and lower the chances. Pls share what is actually true.

I used to wonder the same thing shyly and never asked anyone. Glad this is cleared up. Thank you all for explaining gently.

Yaar dont stress over such small things, just lie back for a few mins if you like and then go pee normally. It really makes no difference. Trying should not feel like a science exam na.

I had this same worry during our trying journey and read up a lot. Peeing afterwards does not reduce your chances at all. Try to relax and not overthink each step, that helped me more than anything.

Yes you can pee, it wont flush out the sperm honestly, they travel up very quickly. Going to the loo after also helps avoid infections. So dont stress about holding it in.
