The answer

IVF (in vitro fertilization) is permissible only in two cases: 1. External fertilization of the husband's sperm and the wife's egg, and implantation into the wife's uterus. 2. Internal injection of the husband's sperm into the wife's vagina or uterus, with Islamic legal controls.

As for invoking evil upon oneself, it is not permissible. Allah the Almighty has condemned those who invoke evil upon themselves, and the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade invoking curses upon oneself, one's children, or one's wealth. One must repent, seek forgiveness, and not despair of Allah's mercy.
