Is it possible that the minoxidil has caused a second TE for me?

I was incorrectly diagnosed with AGA so started 5% minoxidil end of January. After seeing two hair loss specialists I was told I have TE and advised to come off the minoxidil as my shedding during this time was immense. I came off minoxidil in May. Since then my shedding is starting to peak again. Is it possible that the minoxidil has caused a second TE for me? And if so when could I expect this to stop or is there anything I could do?
