Welcome to mittelschmertz. Since you know this is coming based on your cycle, the only fix is to minimize salt intake in the days leading up to this midpoint, and to drink enough water that you're well hydrated, your pee almost colorless. If you also get constipated and that just adds to it, double up on fruits, veggies, and whole grains.
