My Dad is 60 and is NW5 and my Granddad is NW6. I have never had a straight hairline and i am almost 30 so i do not mind having recession on the temples if it means i will not use all of my donor area up. 1) How much grafts will it take to fill in my hairline(see pics) 2) Do you have any idea of my hair density? 5) Black people have less donor area so i guess i will progress towards NW5 because of my father.. So even if i left space for a bald patch will i have enough grafts for later in life?

Answer: You cannot determine hair density on the Internet with a photo. It generally requires a microscopic exam.
That's pretty much exactly what should happen. Your transplants will shed within the first month, and so naturally a lot will fall out with the scabs. They'll start to regrow over the next 6 months or so. If there's no blood or any signs of trauma its highly unlikely you're losing grafts.
This is not at all a usual complication. Go to your hair transplant surgeon if you haven't already and ask them about it, and follow whatever instructions they give you after. Without seeing you in person there's no way to make an accurate diagnosis.
