Is it normal to start shedding after being on Minoxidil for nearly 9 months?

What the title says. I’ve been on a topical minoxidil 5%+ fin combo for nearly 9 months. I’ve seen a LOT of progress. Around 70% of the hair loss area on my head has recovered. It is not perfect thick hair but it has been thickening gradually from what I’ve seen.

Recently I noticed a lot of shedding while washing my hair. There hasn’t been any progress because I think I’m losing a lot of hair? It’s like the hair is barely holding onto my scalp. I know that you normally start shedding pretty early on after starting minoxidil. I’m pretty sure I’m way past that phase. I keep my hair cropped and use minox once a day.

Is it normal to see shedding like this 9 months into using minox? And does it stop or do I need to change something?

Thank you.
