Some things should be left to your doctor whom you trust. If you don't trust your doctor then change the doctor. If you can understand simple English interpretation of what is written earlier,  be happy.  If you can't understand simple English  interpretation of what is written earlier  , leave it to your doctor.

There is intermediate risk in view of your age and the values obtained. Dual marker is not a confirmatory test. For confirmation get an NIPT test done.

Get NIPT done as dual marker shows intermediate risk.
