For the last 3 months I've been spotting brown or black discharge for about 3 to 5 days then I have my regular period which lasts about 5 to 6 days. I have severe cramping and I've been having a period every 15 days. I am not taking BC pills. What can cause this?

Ovarian cysts can cause the bleeding you describe. Endometriosis is another possibility. Sometimes is is just inadequate corpus luteum function which may go away on its own.
