Have you been on a diet? Not getting enough fat in your diet causes hair loss sometimes. Also, too much stress. Those are the two main culprits I know of.

I've had this happen to me before. If you go to a dermatologist they can do a biopsy and rule out some things as the cause. Mine was caused from stress, I have a high stress job and it was horrible during that time since the company was growing quickly but they hadn't hired any more help.
There are lots of other reasons hair falls out. Are you eating enough? If you have an eating disorder it is very common for your hair to fall out since you are basically starving yourself.
Also low thyroid can cause hair loss, or a hormone disorder.
There are lots of other reasons too, but I can't remember all of them.

I'm more youthful than you and I lose hairs like that at all times. Your hair is made of useless cells, and the autumn out mostly. Just due to the fact a few fall out everyday doesn't suggest you're going bald. So, I might say what you're going via is flawlessly traditional.

That happens at certain times of the year, at least that is what i was told when it happened to me. You will get new hair, but meanwhile keep taking your tablets and check with your Dr. just in case :)

is it coming out in clumps or a few strands at a time? when i wash my hair about 20 strands fall out but its not in clumps so im pretty sure its ok. if it is coming out in clumps you might want to see your doctor. it could be from those iron tablets.

Do you straiten your hair? Do you use a lot of hairspray or other things? If you do, that could be the reason because that just kills hair.
so unless you want to go bald, stop using it.
