Jack,

If indeed the native hair IS coming back (that is, the hair wasn't destined to fall out), it should start growing back between 3-6 months. Talk to your doc, however, since he/she knows your specific situation. Some of the dying hairs may not come back...HT shock can send them to an early grave. But rest assured, the only native hairs that won't grow back (assuming you chose a quality doc) are the ones that were going to die anyway.

Jack,

Falc summed it up nicely for you. If it's coming back, likely it will arrive between 3 & 6 months. That's just the best guess............personally, my shocked, native hair from HT #2 came back at 2 months and 1 week. I could tell it was native hair rather than new HT hair growth because it came in coarse like beard stubble versus HT hair which seems to start out thin and wispy then thicken as it comes along. Just IMO..
