Ears want stretch to the next size why?

I have been at a 0g for 3 months but, still I can only fit half of my taper through my ear. I would like to go to a 00g but I can't. What could be the problem, I don't think i'm rushing because I have been a 0g for 3 months. Most people don't even wait that long to go a 00g!

Also, I brought a 00g short thick steel taper(didn't help)
00g Acrylic taper(thin, regular, didn't help)
So, I even tried to do the taping method but, when i wrap a piece around my 0g plug they want go in.

00G can either be 9mm or 10mm, so try to find something in 9mm first. Also do daily oil massages and your lobes will loosen up faster. 3 months isn't THAT long, you should usually wait about 6-8 weeks between sizes but it can take longer. I've had to wait 3-4 months with most sizes.
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!
