What Causes Dark Brown Discharge From The Vagina?

In the last few days I have had slightly unusual vaginal discharge - slight dark brown spotting would be the closest description. It has no unusual odour. My last period was about two and a half weeks ago and I had sex a week before that. We used condoms (and I don't think he ejaculated). I am 22 with no health problems. I wouldn't usually be too concerned as I have no other vaginal symptoms, however at Christmas I had an abortion at 8 weeks. I didn't think I was pregnant as although there were some signs, I had taken the emergency contraceptive pill and had had what I thought were two periods. (The only other things that I would mention is that I had some stomach cramps in the last two days, that felt like a cross between wind and a stitch, however I feel they could easily be connected to the fact that my diet has been changed since I became a vegetarian 2 months ago. I have also felt quite up and down emotionally.)
As I said I wouldn't usually worry, however given the shock I received at Christmas, I can't help but wonder why my discharge is different and consequently feel slightly worried/paranoid. Can you provide any answers?
