Positive double marker test
My NT scan is normal , but the double marker test is positive. Where the Edward syndrome is at increased risk, having risk ratio of 1:63.  Doctor has suggested to go for a repeat double marker test, and then NIPT. I am literally stressed. Plz suggest what should I do. And what is the probability of this double marker test being correct.

Double marker is a basic screening test. You should go for NIPT. As time passes more tests will be done. No need to worry at present.

As NT scan is normal just double marker if abnormal we should not worry much because we need to consider NT scan double marker if both are positive more significant
