Period Sex??

So my boyfriend and I started dating about a month ago. I’m 16, he’s 17, and we’ve had sex a number of times (maybe 10 or so idk, we both lost our virginities to each other) but when I started my period the other day I told him that I didn’t want to have sex this week (which is very hard for both of us lol) because I feel like it would be weird. He said that it wouldn’t bother him and that I’m perfect to him no matter what but I still feel like it would be weird or kind of embarrassing for me. Does anyone who’s had period sex before feel comfortable sharing their experience? Maybe I’m making it out to be weirder in my mind than it really is :/
