You aren't alone. Search through the archives for more information. You should see a dermatologist.There is the adrogenic alopecia. Also,it can be idiopathic in nature since you had not had problems in the past with hairloss.

I am sure you will get many responses to your questions by women who can explain this condition much better than I am able to. Good luck to you. >
