I Went From Virgin Ears To 0g In About A Month 1/2. It Was Painful, It Bled, But I Never Had Any Blowouts. Should I Expect Any Unforeseen Damage? Because I Plan To Go Bigger.

Do your ears look wrinkly when you take your plugs out? That's scar tissue. Stretching fast will cause your lobes to scar and that makes stretching in the future WAAAY more difficult. Not to mention it makes lobes look gross.
If you don't have scarring, you are EXTREMELY lucky! But you should definitely slow down in the future. The amount of time you took to get to 0G is the amount of time you should wait for one stretch, haha.

Well I Waited Two Weeks To Go Up To A 00g And I Don't see Any Wrinkles Or Scar Tissue Or Anything, I'm Starting To Think That Waiting The Month To Two Months Is Only If Your Trying To Stretch Painlessly? My Ears Feel Healed Up About 1 Week After I Stretch

Avoiding pain has nothing to do with it. I mean, most people that stretch have other piercings and mods and can handle pain. The reason we say that stretching should be painless is that pain is an indication you're stretching too fast. Stretching should be a process of waiting for your ears to loosen up to accomodate the next size, not forcing the next size in and creating wounds that need healing.
