Women's soccer star Sydney Leroux had already endured some significant struggles this year in her professional career, but what she's gone through privately has been even more difficult.

The Olympic gold medalist and U.S. Women's National Soccer Team member revealed Monday in a Twitter post that she had a miscarriage a couple months ago — and that "there was a moment when I was on bed rest where I wondered if the emotional pain could kill me."

Most soccer fans only knew that the leading goal scorer on the NWSL's Orlando Pride had missed almost the entire month of August because of an undisclosed illness.

But Leroux revealed the real reason for her absence in conjunction with October being Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month.

"I am 1 in 4," she tweeted, in reference to the odds of losing a baby during pregnancy.

She and her husband, Dom Dwyer, a member of the U.S. Men's National Team and Orlando City FC of MLS, have one son, who was born in 2016.
