Question about shedding

[Grannh]

Hello guys, so i been on finasteride (1 mg) for about 1 year and 2 months and on oral minoxidil for 3 - 4 months (2.5 mg) (was using topical minoxidil 5% but it gave me dermatitis so I switch to oral minoxidil)
I've seen some results but I have a question about shedding.
Is it normal to sheed passing the year mark?

Its been a long journey, started off on this site knowing nothing to several hair transplant from elite doctors to using dutasteride years back with minoxidil and now on finasteride and oral minoxidil a few day.

How many hairs do you guys lose during a shedding phase and how many when your not in a shedding phase? If you can describe it like that. I am also on oral minoxidil 10mg for 6 months now

I was shedding maybe 20-30 hairs in the shower daily at the 1yr mark on finasteride. Not sure if that means I was in the middle of a normal Finasteride shed at that point in time as I wasn’t counting hairs closely before then. After starting oral minoxidil it gradually increased to 300/day by the 6th week (as expected) and then quickly tapered back down to maybe <10 by the beginning of the third month and has remained that low until now (8th month).
