Halle Berry reveals struggle to get pregnant

Halle Berry, 41 talks about her struggle to get pregnant on the Oprah Winfrey Show.

"I'm sort of superstitious, so I saved all of the negative [pregnancy] tests in a drawer," Berry reveals. "Don't ask! I don't know why, but I did. ... After about 35 tests, we finally got a positive test."

"while I was trying to get pregnant, we tried really hard, so it was a lot of staying home and just doing what you do."

Berry says her boyfriend, Canadian model Gabriel Aubry, 31, will be a great dad, PEOPLE reporrs.

"He's always his authentic self, never worried about being judged," she tells Winfrey, according to excerpts from the interview that appear on the show's Web site. "To walk with that kind of confidence ... and with integrity, I know he has ability to love me, love our children, and he will do that."

Asked about the use of the word children, Berry says, "Well, there's just one right now. But we're hoping right after this one to do it again."
