Doubling of breast size in such a short
time is not typical, even if you are
pregnant. However, since you did not
mention when you took the pregnancy test,
you may want to consider taking another
one, especially since your irregular
periods make it difficult to determine if
you are late. You can also make an
appointment for an ultrasound with a
gynecologist to confirm or exclude the
possibility of pregnancy, and to diagnose
your symptoms of breast tenderness and
enlargement.
