I wouldn't think it is the end of your period, if it has been 16 days since you had it.
Sometimes when you ovulate (which sounds about the right time ie 16 days later) you can get a slight brown discharge - which can look a bit like the end of a period. It sounds a lot like that to me.
Other than that, are you on the pill? The pill can sometimes cause cervical erosions, which sounds scary, but isn't - it's actually just a collection of fragile cells which sometimes come away and look like a brownish discharge. (There is no 'erosion' of anything!). It's completely harmless and painless and doesn't usually require any treatment - just a side effect of being on the pill. Nurses can usually spot them when you have a smear test done.
If you're worried, check with your doctor - especially if it carries on for longer than a few days.

The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor. If worried, see a doctor.
Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.
A normal vaginal discharge consists of about a teaspoon (4 ML) a day that is white or transparent, thick to thin, and odorless. This is formed by the normal bacteria and fluids the vaginal cells put off. The discharge can be more noticeable at different times of the month depending on ovulation, menstrual flow, sexual activity and birth control.
It is not uncommon for the normal discharge to be dark, brown or discolored a day or two following the menstrual period.

Is like you having a little infection. It is supposed to be your ovaluation which will look like thick or thin liquid white that will be discharging during the ovalution period. But due to the discharge is slight brown, It since that you are having a little infection. Please take anti-bacterial drugs or see your doctor.

Brown discharge is old blood. Nothing to worry about. Regular discharge is the vagina's way of cleaning it's self. It should be colourless and odourless. If not see your doctor.

I just think the remainder of your period hadn't come out yet. I had that alot of times. It turned out to be just that. Especially on days after sex.

IT could be hepatitis or infection with no symptoms
