Could be adhesions - particularly since it is cyclical, the adhesions could be pulling with the bloating and inflammation that sometimes comes close to your cycle. Try to make sure you get a little extra fibre and water in your diet during those two weeks and avoid salts and foods that cause gas (cabbages, etc.) and see if that helps. Probably won't make it pain-free but should make it easier to bear.
