Birth Control Pill Question?

Hi there again :)

So last month was a weird month for me - I was on antibiotics for the first week and ended up getting my period a week early and then another period during my placebos (when I was actually supposed to get it).

I started a new pack yesterday night but this morning I noticed very light brown discharge, as if it was the end of my period. Is it normal for my period to end after I've started active pills?

Also, since I got an early period last month, does that mean my pregnancy protection is decreased for this month?

In a related topic, I was wondering if you could help me with my paranoia. Maybe it's because I got this early period but lately I've been worried about the accidental transfer of pre-cum to condom. During foreplay I don't touch the tip of my boyfriend's penis but I'm always scared I have by accident and touch the condom with pre-cum by accident. Is there anything I can do to assure that I don't transfer this pre-cum? Does spermicide lead to a higher risk of infection?

Sorry I have so many questions! Thank you so so much for everything :)
