Hi guys I wanted to know if I should worry or not due to the fact that I am noticing hair loss in the 6th month after the transplant. Every time I pass my hand during the shower I count between 3-5, surely coming from the transplanted area.

Totally normal to shed between 50-100 hairs per day.

well it might be your existing hair. you are bound to shed them due to hair growth cycle. Doesnt matter what meds you take hair will shed so new healthier hair comes back.

100 hair (+/-50) shed is completely normal per day. 

But if you are absolutely sure that its transplanted hair then its little worrying .. you can probably document hair growth with pics at different months and compare them and you will know that which areas you are losing/gaining hair. send them over to your surgeon and check with him.

I'm not 100% sure they are transplanted, but I had so few natives that it seemed strange to me that they were

Whether they are native or not, there is nothing that sounds abnormal to me.
