Brief Answer:
No need of further testing

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
No dear no need to get any further tests since
- double marker is already normal
- young age
- no previous bad obstetric history (I hope).
Just get a level 2 scan between 18-20 weeks.
All the best.
