FUE Hair shedding after 2 weeks? (photos)

niallsclark
I got an FUE (4000 grafts) carried out in Turkey at the start of the month, at around the 2 week point the implanted hairs that had grown had shed, is this normal as I see on other sited the shedding doesn't usually occur till around the 6 week point, I have attached some photos showing the growth and loss over the weeks. I have spoke with the clinic and I am told that this is normal and that shedding will occur in some cases after 2 weeks? Just looking at a second opinion.
