Hair falling out at day 9 of hair transplant, too soon or normal?

kathybug
It's my 9th day since the transplant and some hairs have fallen out with the scabs...when I showered and gently rubbed my head to help slough off the crusts more hairs in the crusts fell out. I know you typically shed your hair but is it normal for it to happen prior to the 14 days? Did these hairs not take, did I rub too hard? Just simply curious. Thank you!
