Brown Spotting at 5 weeks

I am current five weeks pregnant tomorrow.  This afternoon while urinating, I saw brown spotting when I wiped.  I immediately rushed home and inserted a tampon to see if any clots came out.  It was just more brown discharge and everything seems to have disappeared now.  Just wondering what everyone's experience has been with this.  Could it have been left over implantation bleeding or just old blood?  I know they say as long as it isn't red and cramping that it's fine, but I'm scared!!! I miscarried in september, so I'm freaking out.!!!! Please help!!!!

Oh and here are my hcg levels:

Jan. 17th 104
Jan. 23rd 914
Jan. 30th 11,990 (later that nite at the ER it was 16,349)

The u/s tech said she saw a fetal pole but it was so small that I couldn't really see it.  I thought I was 6w but she said 5 1/2 weeks.  I will see my OB next week, but the u/s tech said it is likely implantation bleeding.

Sorry, I noticed a typo in my post....my 2nd m/c was June 2011 NOT 2010.  And then I had a period July 11th and got pregnant again later that month.
