It's frustrating when no-one posts. I've been there. Just remember that the NT told is an indication that something could be wrong, it's not a diagnosis so it could mean absolutely nothing.
My bubs NT measurement was 4.2 so not as high as yours but quite a bit higher than it should have been. We were given a 1/37 risk of DS, the risk of the other trisomies were low. No abnormalities were found in our amnio and no abnormalities were ever seen in any of our scans. Brock was born 9 weeks ago and did not have DS nor any other detectable abnormalities, so completely "normal". I don't think I ever really believed that this was going to be the outcome until he was in my arms.
The next couple of weeks while you wait for a scan are going to be hard. Try to keep yourself as busy as possible so you don't have much time to think about the possibility of a bad outcome. More than likely everything will be fine when you have the scan done. It's quite normal for the doctor not to want to discuss the what if's. My doc was like that too, and continued to be like that when other issues came up later on that were unrelated to abnormalities. Best of luck with the scan.
