00G can be either 9mm, 9.5mm, or 10mm in diameter so it's likely that yours is 10mm and a 2mm stretch is too much. When I went to 00G I made sure the jewelry I got was 9mm and the stretch was super easy.

Like what she said.^
It sucks when they have different measurements for one size!!
If it's bleeding, downsize and let it heal!
And if you still wanna go up, use the taping method! I feel like they're waay safer than tapers
because they don't like, have the risk of dragging your skin out like tapers do.
I added maybe 3-5 layers every week and kept them in over night and cleaned them everyday and had no problems at all.
I bought 00 and 7/16 plugs at the same time,
without even knowing I actually taped to 9/16ths like nothing.
and it was completely painless ..With the help of Jojoba oil. c:
