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.
