About Sierra Glinatsis
Expertise
I can answer questions that pertain to pregnancy signs and symptoms, young girls having scares with being pregnant and often mistaking early pregnancy symptoms for menstrual symptoms, I have been there as well...I can answer questions about where to go and what to do if you have had any unprotected sex and have questions about Birth Control or testing for Sexually Transmitted Diseases. I can also answer questions about fiction vs. fact on if you could be pregnant. For example, a question like, "Can I get pregnant the first time I have sex even if I use protection?" My answer would be, "Yes you can get pregnant the first time you have sex, even if you do use protection...any time that you have sex there is some chance that you could get pregnant." I can also answer any questions that you may have on adoption and different types of adoption, or abortion.

Experience
I have had a lot of personal experience in this area, as I have practiced unsafe sex before, and had a few pregnancy scares. I have even psyched myself out a few times into thinking that I was pregnant when I wasn't; as a lot of girls do. So in my mind there are no silly questions that you can ask about this topic... If you are unsure, then by ALL means, you should ask a question. I have also counselled other close friends when they had pregnancy scares, miscarriages, and were pregnant. I have been and taken various friends to Planned Parenthood, and have gone through their counselling process as well. I am also an adoptee, my birth mother was sixteen when she had me, and gave me up for adoption. Since then I have also met both of my birth parents, and keep in touch with them

Organizations
In High School I was in AFJROTC, Marching Band, Orchestra, and Colour Guard (aka Flag Team) I was also a volunteer for Teen Korps and worked with kids a lot. I have also been a volunteer Camp Counsellor for a Teen Korps volunteer project and Assistant Counsellor for YMCA Camp Surf. I have also been a volunteer for over ten years with Special Olympics, so I have a lot of experience working with disabled Children.

Publications
None.

Education/Credentials
. I am a high school graduate and currently in my second year of college. I am a Nursing major and after attaining my Master's degree in Nursing, intend to continue my education and get a Doctorate in Public Health Administration. I have taken various Science courses, including Biology and Human Anatomy/ Physiology, so I have been through sexual education more then a few times, and done research on my own to find out what is fact or fictional when it comes to sexual topics. If I am unsure about it, then I ALWAYS look it up, and provide a source of where I got my information.

Awards and Honors
I have received various Academic Scholastic Awards, and The nicest Person in Orchestra Award.

Past/Present Clients
Past and current "clients" would have to be friends that came to me for advice and help when they were having troubles with the kinds of situations that are dealt with in this forum. If I can't help them with something medically related, as in they are having stomach cramping and don't know why, or are having a ectopic pregnancy and need surgery, then I will always highly recommend they see a doctor.

Teen Pregnancy - Could I be pregnant?


Expert: Sierra Glinatsis - 6/2/2009

Question
Hi,

I am 17 years old girl. I got married in December. My periods were irregular before marriage. I consult with doctors, they told my periods shall be regular after marriage.  I got periods after my marriage 3 times, each after about 30 - 45 days. This month I missed my period. I felt pain just like I feel during periods but nothing else. I got home pregnancy test which was negative. I want to know, is there any chances that I'm pregnant. I'm so keen of having baby, can you recommend me the best time and position.

Awaiting your response

Maria

Answer
Maria you need to try to have sex during the time of the month when you are ovulating if you want to get pregnant. I know you are keen on having a child and I would talk more to your doctors about the problems that you are having with your period, as they can assist you better than I can.
