In addition to the typical side-effects and recommendations, the Wesley Hospital site has this to say for women over the age of 37: - It is important that women in the 37 and over age group who are attempting to achieve a pregnancy are aware of the following problems. - There is a dramatic decline in the fecundity or conception rate in women after 37 years. This is due partly to poorer egg quality and uterine receptivity. - Older women requiring the drugs Clomid or Follicle Stimulating Hormone to achieve ovulation often need larger doses, as their ovaries are not responsive. - The miscarriage rate is approximately 25% in younger women, but in older women it can be as high as 50%. - The incidence of foetal abnormalities also increases with maternal age. More general info on Clomid can be found at a number of sites. Here's one: http://www.conceivingconcepts.com/learning/articles/0020.html |
