albi, I did acupuncture weekly for 4 months before my last IVF to allow her time to work on my egg quality as much as possible. For the actual IVF cycle I was still just going weekly until EPU. Then I went the the night before my transfer and was supposed to go straight from transfer back to acu but my transfer was cancelled. If your transfer is later in the day a good acu will do a treatment immediately before and then immediately after the transfer. There are certainly plenty of men who go to acu for fertility treatments, but my acu said it will only help (anyone, not just men) if they want to do it, so don't try to force him. I'd guess they may want about 3 months to work on his sperm quality, but even if you don't have that long every bit helps. Plus it's so relaxing!
