Accupuncture, other suggestions to increase chances of success

Hello everyone,
I will be doing IVF in June.  I have started doing accupuncture once a week.  I have heard that this can help increase the chances of successful IVF.  Has anyone done accupuncture for IVF?  Does anyone have any helpful tips to help increase the chances?  Thanks.

I currently do acupuncture for a number of health reasons.  I started it after my IVF failed, but there is significant research out there that supports acupuncture, specifically, and increased success rates with IVF.  I received a recommendation from my RE for the acupuncturist, so that I would have faith that they would 'work together'.  I go back to the RE in two weeks to discuss my next plans, but I am SURE that acupuncture has helped get my body to a healthy place and my mind to a less stressful one.

There are a number of herbs that claim to assist in pregnancy. Here's one website, but you can search 'safe herbs for pregnancy' in Google and find a whole list of them.
