I'm shedding after PRP. Should I get my next treatment, or should I delay until shedding resolves? 3 wks post op.

I'm 29YF. 3 weeks ago I had pure PRP with microneedling. The machine used was an Eclipse. Lidocaine was injected as anesthesia. A week after, my hair started shedding all different lengths, bulb attached. 3-4x usual amount. I called the doctor's office and asked if it was the lidocaine. They said it was probably the microneedling and that I should come in as planned (6 weeks from first appt). A) does this shed sound normal? B) when might it resolve, and C) should I keep going with PRP?
