Could be seasonal shedding. Ive had my 2nd H/T and have noticed bits of hair in my comb, not sure if its shock loss of 1st H/T at 3.5 months or seasonal shedding??????? its bugging me and thats for sure.

I would say it is very possible. It depends what you mean by shock loss. You may wnat to refer to my previous discussion on shockloss.
understanding shock loss

Hi Marie,

I am also 6 months post-op from a FUE session and yes, shockloss or should we say, a re-adjumstment to a new hair cycle may be at work. I think my hair went into telogen at the same time from my previous HT...yes, it sucks but it we have to give it up to two years. That is what happened for me the first time. Hope that helps.

Thanks! That helps because I wasn't sure when exactly it would start turning around and stop falling out.

I am nearly 16 months since my 1st H/T and nearly 5 months with my 2nd H/T. I have also noticed inceasing amounts of hair on my clothes, comb, bath and in the shower and these are transplanted hairs, must admit it sucks but then again what else can you do except ride it out or start the meds.
