Going up a size?

I'm sitting comfortably at 11mm, after I tried going from 10 to 12 unsuccessfully in one ear. I have both ears at 11mm. I think I upsized to 11mm about two months ago. I want to stretch one ear up to 12 but having some trouble. My ear seems fine, my 11mm plugs fall out sometimes even, so I'm wondering why there's a problem going up. After I tried going from 10 to 12 there was some swelling and I think I tore my lobe a bit (It's healed completely) so when I try to put the 12 in I get paranoid, so I don't push as hard and freak out a bit when it burns and back out. Am I just being a wimp or is my ear not ready?

Hope that all made sense.

Almost all the way in but as soon as it starts burning I take it out.
