Last month @3 months post op,I had some initial growth in the frontal hairline area,and some further back... Sparse,but it continues to grow. Some of my original hair (shock loss) also began to grow at the same time. But I haven't really experienced any new growth since. Been on fin 6 mos., Rogaine 2 weeks post op. Is this intermittent growth pattern normal? My understanding has been that it's a progressive growth pattern,seeing more new hairs once it begins.

After a hair transplant on the face and as you are presently being treated, I would suggest that you follow his directions. I can not make any recommendation over the internet.
That's a large transplant. It will take a few weeks to heal. It appears that you may have also experienced some shock loss which is usually temporary. Be sure to follow up with your doctor.
Yes, you can increase hair density with a second hair transplant. Many people in our practice pick the alternative which is scalp micropigmentation instead of a hair transplant for increasing the look of fullness which is a 'look' not a number issue. See examples below in the web-reference
