Made2care - thanks for your response. I suspect you're right. My patch has some hairs that have started growing long in the middle of it, others that are paused, then a couple of dots of what look like new hair. I think the transplant combined with the shock loss has probably just left this patch confused and things will kick in. I would be far more concerned if were a completely smooth bald patch but it isn't. I had another similar patch that filled in starting around month 12, so I imagine that the 12-18 month mark is the magic time period for me.
