Not really TTC related... painful BD?

I know this really isn't TTC related, but you ladies are so well informed, I thought you might have the answer to this question:

Is there a time in the cycle when BD can be painful....I thought I had read somewhere (maybe on FF?) that there is a time in the cycle when the cervix is low and this can make BD painful in certain positions. Am I dreaming this, or did I really hear/read this somewhere?

TIA!!!

Your cervix does shift position throughout your cycle. I would think a follicular cyst would cause pain too(right before you ovulate)

Your information is correct from what I have read.

Does anyone know at what point in the cycle the cervix changes position? I believe I am about 10 dpo, and (here comes TMI!) I almost jumped out of the bed last night when BD - it hurt!...

From fertilityfriend.com:
Your cervical position offers an optional or secondary fertility sign. Like your cervical fluid, your cervix position also responds to the presence of estrogen. Early in your cycle, during and just after menstruation and prior to peak fertility when your estrogen level is low, your cervix is low, hard, firm and closed and easy to feel with your fingers. Your cervix lifts and straightens and becomes softer, higher and more open as your fertility (and the presence of estrogen) increases. These cervical changes make the cervix more receptive to sperm and allow them to enter and travel into the fallopian tubes where an egg may be fertilized. After ovulation, your cervix again becomes more closed and firm and lower. Though this fertility sign is considered optional, checking your cervical position can provide useful information about your state of fertility.
