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
