I think most (early) human clones would be female, and raised like normal kids, possibly with no one knowing any better. So I'm thinking cloning might be a viable alternative to regular IVF at least technically, somewhere mid-century-ish. Once there's a solid protocol, the cost of the equipment isn't even that much (a few thousand dollars). Except for one essential component, which only 50% of the population possess. (Thus since the only people who can directly afford to clone themselves would be female, their clones would be female too) The main delay is actually the fact that many people are opposed to the concept of human cloning, so research is limited.
