Ureaplasma not going away

Dear Dr
I have been diagnosed recently with ureaplasma after having high WBC in my semen analysis. I did Semen culture which came back negative. First the Dr thought its an inflammation in the prostate and he gave me antibiotics for it for 3 weeks. My wife' s Gyno found that she has ureaplasma which by default that I have it too. the dr then susbcribed to me antibiotics for 6 days after which i was tested a negative and a week later again positive. In the last test I did also ureaplasma sensitivity test and found out that I am sensitive to all antibitiotics except of cyprobay for which I am medium sensitive. Now I have been on the antibiotics for 20 days and tested negative while on them; however, I had high pus cell s8-10. My wife also tested and she was positive. During the last month we always had safe sex using condoms.
Now I am not sure what to do, stop antibiotics or not?
and how will this ureaplasma go away?
Can it be for life?
We also want to try to conceive and we are thinking it might be a reason for my low sperm count and high motility rate.

your help is really appreciated !!! I need an honest answer
thanks
Ca

I am going to have to direct you back to your Dr. As he/she is the only person to tell you if you should discontinue antibiotics and he/she is going to know more about the infect then I.
