I have attached my report. It mentions notching in uterine arteries, and a resistance index of 0.59 on the left side and 0.51 on the right side. Could you please explain what notching in the uterine arteries is, and whether these values are normal?

Uterine artery notching means there is slightly increased resistance in blood flow, which doctors monitor closely during pregnancy. It is common in early scans and often resolves. Regular follow ups will help keep everything on track.

I am 35 years old and weigh 53 kg. I had a miscarriage this year in June at 5 weeks of pregnancy. I want to plan for another pregnancy and prepare my body for a healthy conception. My recent blood reports are all normal, and my hemoglobin is 11.1 g/dL. Could you please advise on steps, supplements, or lifestyle changes to improve my chances of a healthy pregnancy?

Dear doctor, I went to a government hospital for a pregnancy test for my wife. They said the pregnancy is positive, and something is written on the registration slip. I need your help to understand the test mentioned and whether the results are favorable or not. What is good or bad in the test? Thank you.
