Is it normal for hair to shed more after PRP treatment?

I've had 1 PRP treatment, which was in late July of this year. I'm supposed to go back this month for a 2nd round, but I am hesitant to do so bc ever since I had it done, I've noticed a definite increase in hair shedding. Can anything be done to reverse this? I am a 29 yr old female with no family history of female pattern hair loss, however, about 15-16 years ago, I suffered from trichotilmania for about a year or 2, which may be the cause of a bald spot in the back of my head.
