shame?

I have a problem that's kind of embarassing. My problem is that my period is an uneasy topic for me. Don't get me wrong... everyone else's period is always an ok topic. But if anyone even suggests that there's a connection between me and this cycle I get really embarrased and defensive. Just the fact that it's embarrassing for me is unsettling. I'm twenty going on twent-one years old... I should be over this by now. I feel so silly. It's gotten better since I lost my virginity to my ex-husband. I mean, it's hard to pretend that you don't have a period when you're having sex everyday. Ok, here's my question... has anyone here ever felt uncomfortable with their cycle... or even ashamed? If so... how did you get over it? Around what age did you finally become comfortable? I know that this sounds silly... but I'm very proud of having a period...in theory anyway... I don't even make sense but i'll post this anyway.
