Can antibiotics cause brown discharge? or pregnancy?

Hello,

I started taking antibiotics (Keflex) and about 3 days in, I've been getting brown discharge for about 4 days now instead of my period, which should have started around the same time/should be starting soon. I'm wondering if this is a normal side effect of antibiotics?
I'm also very slightly worried that it might be pregnancy symptoms even though it's almost impossible for me, because my boyfriend and I have only been having dry sex a few times before this started happening and he's never ejaculated. The reasons I'm even considering this option is because I read that 1. pre-ejaculation can cause pregnancy, even when both are fully clothed and 2. I've been having other symptoms which I'm not sure might be related to pregnancy: tiredness, light tension headaches, stomach rumblings, and chills.
