Anyone else have low blood flow to the uterus? My PGAL brain is going bonkers.

So I went to the perinatologist yesterday for my NT screening, and everything looked good. Although, the doctor said that my blood flow to my uterus on my left side was a little low. He said it really nonchalantly like it was no big deal and said he sees this a lot, then prescribed me to take baby asprin once a day to help. 

I was FINE and happy... until I got home and googled. Dumb, I know. The first thing that came up when I googled low blood flow to uterus was "Placental Insufficiency" which is why we lost our son in November. So of course I freaked out wondering if THAT was what caused it, and what can be done now, and yadda yadda. I called my OBGYN and was told that until they get the report from the specialist they can't say what would be recommended or a course of action. I get that. I just wanted some reassurance. 

So I guess this is all more of a vent than a question. I'm just a little freaked out, and no one have to talk to knows how bad PGAL brain is. I mean, the specialist knows our history and seemed like he had no concerns about it, so I think that's good. Anyone else dealing with low blood flow to the uterus?

    RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

    No experience but I do know that there has been researching with using baby aspirin to sustain pregnancies, especially in the earlier part of pregnancy. Supposed to help with blood flow so it sounds like you are doing every thing you can. Good luck and keep us posted!

    I dont think that is my exact issue but i was put on baby aspirin due to clotting. I believe it was mentioned it could clot between placenta and fetus cutting off supply.

    @ALC08 Yeah I know that it's suppose to really help with clotting. No one has mentioned anything about a clotting issue with this pregnancy or my last and he said it's just the blood flow on my left side so hopefully it clears up.
