Hello anxietyortruth,
There is no chance that you could have become pregnant.
You were having your period, so you could not possibly conceive.
Conception occurs when one of your ovaries releases a mature egg. You have sexual intercourse and one sperm fertilizes the egg.
When you are menstruating, ovulation has passed, by at least two weeks.
After using the bathroom, you wiped. Even if there was semen on your hands, the toilet tissue acted as a barrier.
It is not unusual to notice a small amount of brown discharge at the end of your period. It is just the "clearing out" of the remaining uterine lining, which is what is shed during your period. Old blood looks brown.
Regarding both parts of your question, there is nothing for you to worry about.
