I would really suggest seeing your doctor.  This can be hormonal (i.e., thyroid, estrogen levels, etc.) or a symptom of something else.

the best advice that you can get is from the doctor but sometimes a doctor isnt right too... well, we are in the same boat with this problem too so i went to many doctor and they ask me to check on my bmi.... now im trying to control my eating habit which is the hardest part to do so...

You need to schedule a doctor's appointment.  It could be something hormonal or, if you're on birth control, some really bad breakthrough bleeding.  Either way, you need a doctor's help/advice to stop this.
