I lose hair like a dog that sheds. I know everyone loses hair everyday but the is an unusually high amount for me. I am 30 yrs old. I have been trying to lose weight and at a stand still. I lost 25 pounds and still watching my food intake and trying to exercise a little each day. Also my cycles have been very unusual. The length is anywhere from 32 - 48 days long.
If anyone has any idea what could be causing this let me know.

You need to see a reproductive endocrinologist to get tested for PCOS - Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. Your symptoms are textbook . I have it. It is the leading cause of Infertility in women and affects almost 10% of all women. Some symtoms are: Weight gain usually around your middle, Hair loss in places where you want it but hair growth in places you don't like your face. Acne, Irrecgular menstrual cycles, Insulin resistance etc.

For this, I think you should visit a gynac because this condition is very common with women these days, specially when u mention weight and cycle, if u have pimple like boils on your face then I think you should visit a gynac. The sooner the better, this could be an ovarian condition if u are still not married and don't have babies.
HURRY!!!! Please don't ignore this. At-least, see the gynac why take a chance.

The most common type of hair loss in women occurs in a diffuse pattern. Diffuse hair loss is most often hereditary, but it can also be caused by underlying medical conditions, medications, and other factors.
Common or "hereditary" baldness in women, also called female pattern alopecia, is genetic and can come either the mother’s or father’s side of the family. It is caused by the actions of two enzymes; aromatase (which is found predominantly in women) and 5-a reductase (which is found in both women and men).

It could be malnutrition, stress, hormonal, endocrinal, or genetic. I would suggest speaking to your doctor about it.
