Dry down there. Help!

So i just had sex with my SO and it kinda hurt at some positions plus my pussy was a little bit dry (which prolly explains why it was hurting). I also remembered that im 2 days away from my expected period. My question is (and i may sound dumb for asking this), dors it really go dry down there when you're nearing your period compared to when you're ovulating? Thanks for your help guys!
