I was an early bloomer, from month 2 I started seeing new growth and new hairs kept sprouting continuously until month 3.5 -4 . Then it stoped suddenly. There are still a few new hairs growing but they are growing from the grafts which already sprouted (multiple follicle units). The question is: Will new individual grafts sprout from now on, or this is all i can expect? I know it usually takes 12m, but I'm asking since i had vey early grow(my doctor passed away recently so, I can't consult her)

Photos cannot determine if you have a good donor area for surgery. You need an examination and the doctor needs to understand what you are expecting and how SHORT your intend to keep your hair. FUE does leave gaps as it is NOT a scarless surgery.
It is best to contact your doctor about post operative care and instructions since each doctor has a different regimen.You may want to ask your doctor why you need to wait 2 months (as there may have been a special reason in your case).
It is normal to shed transplanted hairs weeks after surgery. The new hairs may take 6 to 12 months to grow.Sometimes if the grafts never took it would look dried up.
