Both sides growing at slightly different speeds

I have read many posts where people have had one side of there HT grow faster in the receding parts than the other. Just checking this is quite normal as my left side is a little thicker than the right.

Yes, it`s very normal after a hair transplant for one side to grow quicker than the other. It doesn`t happen to every patient but if it happens to you, then you naturally worry. It can happen where one side does not get the same growth as the other side after 12 months, This can be due to blood supply etc. If that happens, then the clinic will usually do a free touch up to add a bit more density.
Try not to worry and over scrutinize as chances are everything is fine, just one side a bit slower.

Thanks @Bigmac for the reassurance, its not mega noticeable but I can notice it when I pull my hair back. Also when I feel it the density seems the same it’s just the hairs are shorter on the right side compared to the left at the moment.

Yea they will just be lagging a bit. They usually even out over the 12 months.
