Default NAC, ovulation and PCOS

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has heard of or tryed N-Acetyl Cycteine (NAC) or has heard of it or know if/how it works. I am always pokeing around on the internet and on www.curezone.com they talk alot about NAC and its benifet to folks with PCOS its supost to reguate blood sugar and stimulate ovulation/fertility and all sorts of wonderful things. Anyway I just got a bottle and took one today and was just wondering if any one else has had any luck with it.

Okay ladies, I have been low carbing for a while and I am not always 100% I do avoid sugar completely and most refined white flower even when I "cheat", anyway, I took NAC for about a week and then I was thinking you know I "feel" pregnant and I have no idea if NAC is recomended for pregnancy so I disscontinued its use until I find out if I am pregnant or not, which is crazy because I can go months with out a period and I was only about 3 weeks late but I just felt weird. Any way I bought a preg test a couple weeks ago-negative. So a couple weeks go by I still feel wierd and so I by a 3 pack a tests last night. I used one this morning...positive! I could not believe it so I used the other 2...both positive! Anyway my husbant is coming home from work early and we are off to the clinic to make sure. But am still dissbelieving it. I have had PCOS and a very irregular period since I was 12, I had almost given up! Well I will let you guys know what happens! Crazy!
