Published research (I searched pubmed before ivf) shows that accupuncture does not improve probability of success during ivf but it does help you relax.
Good luck!

I did acupuncture 30 minutes before and immediately after on our first IVF and I'm 6 weeks pregnant. Can't say acupuncture made the difference but I did it because several friends were successful on second attempt when acupuncture was the only added change to the cycle.  I spoke with me RE about it and he recommended it as well.
