Chinese Herb Success?

After a month or so away and taking a break from TTC after a failed FET with our only two embryos, I just started a herbal program with my acupuncturist. Has anyone else tried this? Any success? My hope is that we can improve egg quality enough for another attempt at IVF with higher fertilization rates. 

I'm on Chong Release (CD 1-3), Jade Moon Phase 2 (CD 4-14) and Jade Moon Phase 4 (CD 15-end). Also taking L-Arginine, CoQ10 and PN. Plus weekly acupuncture.
Me: 33, Hubby: 36
TTC since May 2014
First RE Appt - September 2015
DX: Hypothyroid, DOR
IUI w/ Clomid - October 2015 - BFN
ER - 2/10/16, 2 Day 3 Embryos
FET - 4/15/16 - BFN
Summer 2016 - Taking a break to try herbal treatment and acupuncture

    @LeanneB82 I can't say that I'm a success, but I wanted to let you know that you aren't alone.  I have been going to acupuncture and taking Chinese herbs.  I don't know the name of mine, but I am to take one type before a meal and the other after from cd1 until ovulation.  I know I feel calmer after acupuncture.  I also started other supplements around the time of consistently going to acupuncture while we've been on an Ivf break.
