Dry vagina: well in the first part of Menstural cycle the vagina secretion is very watery which allows the sperms to move faster, in the 2nd half of the cycle the discharge is thicker to protect any possible pregnancy. these changes are hormonal. Because the discharge is thicker in the 2nd half you might feel you are dry.

Depends: If your hormones are not balanced, you may not be ovulating. It is unusual that you would have a dry vagina at ovulation time. I would check that out!

Pregnancy : The pull out method is not secure. The pre-ejaculate can contain sperm. You can use a home pregnancy test which is often found in stores.
