You're going to get answers that say, "God's fine with it" and you're going to get answers that say, "It's sinful." And since you don't know a single solitary one of us, are you just going to go with what the majority of posters say? If you're just curious, maybe it doesn't matter, but if you're asking for help in making what should just be a decision between you and God, nothing any of us can say should matter in the slightest, since scripture is -- for obvious reasons -- silent on IVF.
As usual, very considerate and wise counsel, Katz.

I doubt that God gives a damn one way or the other.

What about organ transplants, then?

I guess cloning is out!

The governing body of Jehovah's witnesses have not condemned organ transplants, so for us it is a matter of conscience.

Do you think it would be possible for God to be indifferent on any given thing?

I'm not sure indifference fits into any Christian definition of God.

I'm pretty sure God doesn't care whether or not I put pineapple on my pizza.

That is absurd. Everything does not affect our relationship with God.

Bravo! Well answered! Although I would care. Pizza and pineapple just doesn't seem to go together.

Well, okay. I guess I should have been more clear.

Do you believe IVF/surrogacy to be morally neutral, with no moral implications?
