Im on my 6th day of taking anti biotics for my bladder infection and have no symptoms whatsoever and have been drinking a ton of water all week. Does it make any different if i have sex today?

It is important to complete your antibiotic therapy, even if you are not having symptoms. If you stop the medication early, the infection may not be completely cleared up. 

If you are on the birth control pills, keep in mind that some antibiotics can decrease the effectiveness of your pills. We recommend using a condom or abstaining while you’re on the antibiotics and for at least 1 week after completion of the medication.

Engaging in sexual activity is up to you. If you are not having any urinary discomfort, sex is probably okay. Just remember to urinate before and after intercourse to help flush bacteria out of the urethra.
