IVF is still sexual reproduction, not cloning. There might be some odd pressures in the IVF process that reduces the viability of some genes, but you'd still expect 50% from one parent and 50% from the other.
If you're doing cloning, it gets weird. You'd expect only mitochondrial DNA from the surrogate mother. If you're cloning someone inside of themselves, you'd get a full 100% match, but otherwise you'd expect a 0% chromosomal match
