Ivf & acupuncture

Hi, so started my 1st acupuncture session this eve, starting ivf early July. When I arrived he started to talk about herbal meds taking along side the acupuncture but told me I'd have to put my ivf date back to Oct instead for it to work. I've July set in my head and excited any advice do I really need the herbs is it worth accupunture on its own? Any first timer success stories?
