Brown blood or discharge at the end of your period is quite common. But as Shannon said, since it is unusual for you, it might be best to take a pregnancy test, especially since you don't use birth control. Did you use any form of protection? Condom, woman condom?

If not, then there is a chance you could be pregnant. You can take a test 2 weeks after intercourse or 1 week before your expected period. Since you had your 'period' then it should be accurate to take a test now.

If you are not pregnant, then just remember brown is common. Your period can change depending on stress, diet, sleep, etc. Any change could affect your period. I wouldn't worry too much after a test.
