‘I always kind of felt like that was my fault,’ she continued. ‘I wanted to keep doing dangerous stuff while I was pregnant because I thought that made me cool.’

Rousey, who shares a daughter, La’akea, with former fighter Travis Browne, added that she hit an all-time low in between both miscarriages, as she struggled to come to terms with her first.

Rousey, 37, has been married to former UFC fighter Travis Browne since 2017. The couple are hoping to be parents to more children in the near future

‘I was just depressed and drinking and smoking and not taking care of myself, then I got pregnant right away again, and then we never saw a heartbeat that time,’ the 2008 Olympics bronze medalist said of her second miscarriage.

‘But I wasn’t expecting anything more because I just wasn’t taking care of myself during that time.’

Rousey and Browne, who tied the knot in 2017, have been trying for more children after welcoming La’akea in 2001. But the former Bantamweight champion is still experiencing ups-and-downs in her ongoing IVF journey.

‘I went through IVF, four cycles of IVF to be able to get eight embryos because we wanted to have like three or four kids,’ Rousey said. ‘And the first one that we used actually worked! That’s, you know, La’akea, my daughter now.

‘But yeah, we’re in the process of doing it right now, and I just got news yesterday that our first cycle didn’t work.’

A procedure that involves several cycles of two or more weeks, IVF increases a woman’s chances of pregnancy, though Rousey has described her fertilization process as challenging.

‘It’s tough,’ she said. ‘Anyone going through it is tough, and like people don’t talk about it. But, you know, it’s hard because you have so much hope every time. And yeah, I don’t know. I’ll just have to wait till the end of this book tour to try again. But I was really hoping to be pregnant today…

‘But, you know, it’s the kind of thing that like nobody talks about it. So, and so do so many women think they’re going through it alone. But, it’s really, really common. But it’s just really hard when things don’t work out.’
