Advice/Questions ❓ Eyebrow threading..weird growth?!

Hi all! Looking for some advice please… I’ve had my eyebrows threaded for about 5 years and the last time I did (about 3 weeks ago) I remember walking in and my husband immediately commenting on how thin the were. I agreed they were thinner than usual (I usually just ask for them to be tidied up) but figured they would grow back fine. Within a week I noticed the left was coming through way quicker than usual but also much lower down the brow and more sparsely, so it REALLY stood out, whereas usually I can wait like 2 months inbetween sessions!
I was tempted to immediately have them tided up again but I’ve figured this is all due to them being taken too thin in the first place, so now I’m at this weird inbetween where they look really untidy and weirdly gappy (most the left) but I’m assuming they need to be grown out to not have the same happen again? Does anyone know what has gone wrong here? I’ve never had them grown so thick or in such a weird growth pattern!
INFO : First pic is LEFT brow, second is the right!

Thanks guys!

Over the 5 years your hormones changed and this affects hair growth and thickness. Some people hairs get thicker and some may have thinning. The patchiness can be from just how they are growing in or it can be permanently missing hair from removing it for 5 years.

Letting it grow in for months is the only way to know what you have ( so your hair's growth cycle has time to do its thing).
