Does applying water-based lubricant on a condom raise the percentage of preventing pregnancy?

The lubricant reduces the stress on the condom, which reduces the chance of breakage, which reduces the chance of pregnancy. It is important to have most, if not all, of the lubricant on the outside of the condom because you don't want it to slip off the penis during intercourse.

Can using spermicidal lubrication make you miss your period?
In a roundabout way, yes. Spermicidal lubricant isn't particularly effective in preventing pregnancy. http://www.contraceptivetechnology.org/table.html There's an 18-29% chance that you're pregnant. I guess someone should have showed you that table a few months ago. Sorry about that. Sex Ed in school is notoriously abysmal, and your mistake is understandable. If you're pregnant, you stop menstruating. So therefore, yes, technically, a spermicidal lubricant can stop your cycle.
