After starting NAC for a little over a month and switching to fish oil (instead of flax oil), and years of herbal stuff (although I stopped using herbs for over a year now), lots of exercise and met, I became regular in cycle and I am finally pregnant!!! I am estatic!!!!!! Very surreal, can't wrap my mind around it yet!! wonderful bday gift for DH--he was moved to tears!!
Cysters don't be discouraged....one day it will happen. Although I don't know for sure, I think the NAC and fish oil had something to do with it all in balancing out everything fully. NAC gave me a normal 14 LP (up from 11-13 days). Fish oil ceased all inflammation on my skin when I ate processed carbs like brow rice or pasta (which was occasionally) or when I had anything with sugar!!!
My current cocktail was: Multi 2x/day; Ca/Mg/Zn combo; 2GXR/day; NAC 3x/day and 2Tbsp of Spectrum Cod Liver Oil with Lemon. Lots of water and EXR 5 days a week.
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay OOOOOOOOOO That is just sooooooooo wonderful! Congrats too you, and hope you have the best 9 months ever!

Thanks so much for the wonderful and kind words and encouragement.
A few things....I can't really say what specifically triggered things however, I have been exercising regularly 5x/wk for 30 mins since last Sept. I figured out that when I exr I have regular 30-35 cycles with ovulation every time. My testosterone levels went down also however I never conceived and it was a mystery. I was also taking flax oil b/c I just figured fish oil would be yucky. Earlier this month, after reading that recent post by Kat, I got some Spectrum cod liver oil and immediately i noticed a difference with the inflammation. About the same time a month earlier I had started NAC 3x/day (18 g) and noticed for sure that NAC/vinegar lowered my testosterone by 30 points when I tested and slowed hair growth some. NAC also gave me a solid 14-day LP.
Things I noticed but ignored as nothing:
4 dpo I spotted lightly and just thought it was nothing really
I had read on here where one mother said she opted not to exr during her 2 ww and those were the times she got pregnant. I decided to try it for the first week although by now I had really love exr and didnt want to stop. So in almost almost 8 months for the first time I didn't exr during first week after O.
I tested my temp when AF was due and it was surprisingly a 98.6 but b/c my LP had lenghten over time I just said to myself .....another disappointment coming don't sweat it.
Didn't test until 16dpo and I got BFP in a few seconds!! I thought maybe I would have to strain to see the line. And next morning took blood test at 17dpo which was a whopping 580.
Moyerd11, NAC is N-acetyl Cysteine and you should be able to find it at your local vitamin store, or you can order it online from puritanspride.com. I believe they have a good deal going, buy 2 get 3 free now.
Alternative Works!! 
OOOOOOOOOO That is just sooooooooo wonderful! Congrats too you, and hope you have the best 9 months ever!
