I would think it is 1 of 2 problems.
1. You have air in your system, and it is slowly being purged out. You can purchase a coolant filling funnel to make sure all air is out. http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-24610-Sp.../dp/B001A4EAV0
2. You have a coolant leak somewhere. Rent a coolant pressure tester from Autozone/AdvanceAutoParts/Pepboys/etc... Use this to test and makre sure your system is holding pressure, otherwise you have a leak somewhere.
