Is it possible that dutasteride caused an initial shed? I seem to be slightly thinner throughout.

37yo NW 3-V. Most of my loss is in the crown, although my temples are starting to slightly thin more. I recently switched over from fin to dut. At approx the 6 week point, I started to shed more hair than normal. This went on for about 1.5 to 2 weeks. My shedding has recently slowed at about the 8 week/2 month point. However, I seem to be slightly thinner throughout, especially at the crown. Is this normal, and is it possible that I'm responding to the meds, and it could grow back better?
