Haven't you been telling people to listen to their bodies when stretching? Some people take longer than others to be ready to stretch, and telling someone to "just push" is not good advice.
Anyway, 0G is 8mm and some 00G is 10mm, so it may be too big of a jump. You could try to find some 9mm jewelry, or tape up and stop in between the sizes for a little while. Are you doing any kind of oil massages? My lobes usually take quite a while to loosen up enough to stretch, but when I massage them regularly they loosen up a lot faster. Stretch in the shower/after a shower with lots and lots of lube, and don't force it if your ears aren't ready!
I'm Lindsay.
I have 1/2" lobes and 11 piercings: left helix x2, both conches, both nostrils, septum, navel, and VCH.
My lobes are small but I know a lot about stretching and how to do it safely, so message me if you have any questions!
