I agree with JoyRenee that if you're ovulating you don't need clomid...however, I do not agree that clomid increases the chance of miscarriage.  

I've been to numerous Fertility specialists as well as doing hours of research online about clomid and have found no evidence of it increasing the chance of miscarriage.  

Because of your age, you're already at a higher rate of miscarriage.  You would be considered a high risk pregnancy.  I would get in touch with a really good OBGYN or Fertility doc that specializes in high risk pregnancies.  After two miscarriages and your age, I think you should ask for some genetic testing to try and determine the reason for these miscarriages.  

I'm so sorry for your losses...I know it isn't easy.  Good luck.

Thanks dear for informing me not to take clomid..Im really not in a situation again to go through a miscarriage if if  i get pregnant..

If you're ovulating you do not need to take Clomid - it is an ovulatory drug. You also cannot get it without a prescription. It can increase the risk of miscarriage.
