Chelsea Pitman, who won World Cup gold with Australia's Diamonds and Commonwealth gold with England's Roses, has retired from international netball.
The 35-year-old is to "delve a bit deeper" into pregnancy problems she has suffered.
Pitman revealed while playing for Adelaide Thunderbirds in 2020 that she had had two miscarriages and an ectopic pregnancy - where an egg implants in a fallopian tube rather than the womb - in two years.
"I haven't been secretive with saying that I've tried to become a mum in the past and that I've had issues, and I think it's time that I delve a bit deeper into why my body failed me when it comes to that," she said on Monday.
The decision to retire from internationals was, she added, "extremely tough" but "the right time". She added: "What an epic journey. What a rollercoaster and I wouldn't change a single thing."
Playing wing attack Pitman won the World Cup with the Diamonds in Singapore in 2011. Having dropped out of the team after 2012 she was called up by England in 2017, qualifying due to her father being born there.
She helped her adopted country beat Australia in the netball final at the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast the following year to win their first major title, and silver (2023) and bronze (2019) at the World Cup.
Sydneysider Pitman has also played for Queensland Firebirds and West Coast Fever in Australia, winning titles with both, Canterbury Tactix and Central Pulse in New Zealand, and Manchester Thunder and London Pulse in England.
