YES DEFINITELY. They are all yours! <333 I'll take another look to see if I've got anything else in the smaller sizes -- I could've sworn I had some 14g CBRs around somewhere -- and if I do, I'll put that in the envelope for you. Just email me your address! =D
Uhhhhh, it's hard to answer that second question. I started stretching my first holes (which were pierced originally when I was 12) when I was maybe 19? [ETA: Oh yeah, and I'm 30 now, so approx 11 years and 3 years of that was when I stayed at 6ga because I just wore glass plugs to work every day and they are suuuuper light.] But I took waaaaaaaay longer to go from size to size than you really have to and it was mostly because I'd just stretch whenever I felt the urge to get another ear piercing because it was all sore and basically took the place of getting another piercing without the cost. I mean, I realized pretty quickly that I only had a certain amount of space on my ears, you know? So I had to pace myself. Um, why no, I don't have... a pain/piercing fetish or anything.... Um.
In a general sense it's recommended that you wait at least a month between stretches. But I know that (even past a month) my ears' sensitivity have flared if I randomly slept wrong on my jewelry, and I took that as an indication that they weren't completely healed. So, I'd just go with at least a month between stretches, but also whatever feels right thereafter.
BTW, clearly I am totally cool with answering questions regarding stretching if you ever need it -- even after you do more proper research. <3
