I would go in! I had a uti a couple weeks back& I woke up in the middle of the night with contractions cuz  of it. I went to the er& they confirmed it was a uti. Wen yer pregnant symptoms are different! Mine made my uterus contract.

I would call your doctor back first because they could have told you then if thy thought it was urgent you be in medicine and they could have sent a prescription somewhere for you

Being as your appointment is around one week away, it's nothing that is dire to rush for. Especially since its unconfirmed - there can be many causes of an elevated WBC. If it's a UTI, the biggest concern is that it goes to your kidneys and can cause a severe infection. Call your doctor back and see what they suggest or think. If you're still unsure, by all means go be seen.
