Seasonal shedding on Rogaine? Myth or reality?

BeBusty
I'm a 36 year old female experienced hair loss 3 years ago. had a scalp analysis done by a hair transplant surgeon. He didn't see signs of AGA, but recommended Rogaine to stop the shed. been on Rogaine for 18 months with excellent results, but every May-June for about 6-8 weeks, I experience a noticeable increase in shedding. blood work always comes back normal. Is seasonal shedding a real thing in humans, or is this because of Rogaine? Anything I can do to stop it?
