Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the presence of white and red cells in urine suggest urinary tract infection(UTI).The pain in the pubic area might be also due to UTI.You might need a course of antibiotics for UTI.As you are 36 weeks and HB is less you might need blood transfusion to improve the HB.The oral iron tablets or iron injections might not serve the purpose at this gestational age.So discuss regarding that with your doctor.The tiredness can be due to low HB.Dont worry.Relax.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
