A severe case can cause respiratory distress.

And according to reports published in two medical journals, two women died after these latest laws were passed, after they were stimulated to produce eggs.

Is there more?

There's no data, no reporting.

And who would these women report to?

There's one incident that H tells us that has never made it into a police complaint or into data.

Two years ago, she says, she went to Chennai to harvest her eggs at a fertility clinic there.

The agent, unusually, was a man.

She'd never worked with him before and she didn't like his vibe.

She says when she came out of anaesthesia, she realised her eye was swollen, her lip was cut, she had welts on her back and she was wearing a diaper.

She said she fled the hospital as soon as she was able.

And she told us, if that man did something to me, may God punish him.

Ever since then, H tells us, she experiences a sense of terror before she goes under anaesthesia.

Weeks after our first meeting, we see H again.

This time we meet at a cafe in downtown Mumbai.

She's dressed the way she likes.

Jeans, t-shirt, her short hair is fanned out.

She's distracted, impatient and constantly checking her phone.

She talks to us while complaining that she's feeling bloated, nauseous, breathless, weak.

She's nursing a bruise under her right eye.
