IVF is very popular in Israel & is considered an acceptable method of conception, even by the ultra-orthodox.

There are some special concerns:
1) Preventing any sort of mix-up that would end up with the resulting child being the biological child of what would be a forbidden relationship (e.g., an embryo formed from the ovum of a married woman and the sperm of a man who is not her husband). There are centers that allow couples to have a "mashgiach" - someone to supervise the process in the lab, so that no mix-ups occur.

2) Collection of sperm. This can be done using a special condom worn during intercourse. The condom has a tiny hole in it, which means that there would be a (very small) chance of pregnancy.

I am not aware of additional concerns, but they may exist.
