Hello, Welcome to HCM,
As you had the urinary tract infection recently for which your doctor has prescribed a course of antibiotic, which will clear off the infection in the urinary system.
In female as urethra is short they are prone for the repeated UTI. 4- 5 pus cells per HPF are common in females. If there is no symptoms of UTI.
I would suggest you to undergo urine culture before you plan for the pregnancy by consulting your obstetrician. Thank you.
