Down syndrome risks

I had my first son back in 2014, the results at the 12 week scan were 1/1500 then 3 years later when I was 35 the results were 1/130. We did the cvs and came back clear. I'm now thinking about number but at 39 I'm thinking my results are likely to have a higher chance. Did anyone else find their chance get higher as they got older or just higher.

I got 1:8000 with my DD aged 34 and 1:2000 with my DS aged 36. The main difference for me was the NT measurement, 1.5 first time and 2.5 the second. Being older won't necessarily mean high risk.
