On Thursday, March 5, "Basketball Wives" star Laura Govan took to Instagram to reveal to her fans that she had a miscarriage about a month ago, BET reports.

Govan explained that the recent miscarriage took its toll on her mental, emotional, and physical health which in turned caused her to stay isolated from social events and the media.

"I wanted to share something with U guys and why I've been out of the loop, well #NRealLife for the past three months I've been sick, and extremely exhausted and about a month ago I found out that I was pregnant with my 5th baby, which I thought was impossible," she wrote on Instagram. "Unfortunately, I had a miscarriage. When it happened I didn't want to talk about or deal with it."

But now that some time has passed, Govan revealed that she is ready to bounce back and "get my life back on track!" Govan's first step in recovering will be losing the 15 pounds she gained during her depression.

"I gained a good 15 pounds during this rough time in my life," she wrote. "I want you to rock with me as I take this journey of losing the weight and getting ME back ... because this is something REAL that happens every day to women like you and me and it's real easy to feel alone, confused and unsure about how to handle or deal with the struggle."
