I'm worried my grafts are too sparse (low density), what do you think? (Photos)

c1982
I had 2000 FUE grafts 12 days ago. Now I can see the hairs and not many have shocked loss yet, it looks very sparse and like density will be low. I understand it will thicken in 12-18 months. But the hairs are so far apart I can’t see it looking good. I’ve heard around 40 grafts per cm2 is ok. I can count 10-15 per cm2 in mine. I’m worried already and only 12 days in.
