See a doctor: You should be evaluated for anemia due to excessive blood loss, medical or hormonal conditions such as low thyroid function, and structural conditions including endometriosis or cancer. If this has been going on for a month, as you've stated, then you've waited long enough, by anyone's standards. See a doctor.

Thyroid ( thyroid gland is influenced by another gland in brain ) called pituritary gland.

Mostly hormonal: This is most often caused by hormonal imbalances. You should see your doctor to have it evaluated and make sure nothing more serious is going on as it can also be caused by benign tumors called fibroids and more rarely by uterine cancers. Most of the time it is hormonal imbalance but a checkup is required to rule out the others and make sure you are getting the proper care.
