So DD is nearly 15 months old and i'm still shedding lots of hair, it started about 7 months PP. I comb my conditioner through (gently) and every time I do, I end up with clumps of hair coming out. Wasn't that concerned until this last week where i'm starting to see my scalp through my hair now and my pony tail feels really skinny.

I'm having a few other "hormone imbalance" type symptoms which i'm getting checked but is the hair loss normal to still be happening this much?

Personally I think mine improved by around 1 year. However I know a colleague lost a lot more than me and had some really bad patches. Hers improved around 2 years I think it was.
