Is this AGA or TE? (Photo)

May 17, 2022
Asked By:FlameFan22 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada

I did a tricho test but it was outsourced, so I feel I couldn't describe my situation. I have been under major stress for the past 6 months and recently noticed heavy hair shedding. My hairline looks to be thinning. The crazy thing just 3 months ago my hairline was normal. Looking at my photos it seems I have a loss of hair but to me it seems like upright growth vs miniaturization of the follicles. Again I have been heavily shedding for 2 months. I have also had covid mild right before the shed
