NEW YORK (AP) - Courteney Cox and her husband, David Arquette, are hoping to bring a new friend into their lives: a baby.

But it hasn't been easy. The actress says she gets pregnant easily but has had ``many miscarriages.'' Similarly, her ``Friends'' character, Monica, has been trying to have a baby.

``I actually have done in vitro (fertilization),'' Cox tells Barbara Walters in an interview airing on ABC's ``20/20'' at 10 p.m. EDT Friday.

``It's a wonderful thing that people can do in this day and age,'' the 39-year-old says of the procedure. ``And I'm lucky enough to be able to afford to do it. But I think it's great. And I will do it again.''

Cox and Arquette, who married in 1999, say they'd consider adopting a child, but she added, ``I do want his genes, and I would try probably a surrogate before that ... but then, absolutely, adoption.''

She says Arquette, her co-star in the ``Scream'' movies, has been totally supportive during their efforts to have a child.

``He's really great. He goes to every appointment with me,'' she says. ``And he gives me all my shots.''
