All people are different. Sometimes I find it quite hard to get my plugs back in (one 10mm one and one 8mm one)
A 5mm hole should be fine to heal up when you want it to.
Dont force the stretching too much. I did that whilst stretching from 6mm to 8mm (I think) and it bled quite a bit and stung a whole lot.
Also I’d recommend some kind of lubricant whilst stretching. Just apply a little bit if Vaseline (or something of that sort) around the stretcher before you push it in a little bit more.
Leaving your ear to soak in a hot bath is a good idea as well. It loosens the skin, making it easier for the taper to go through.
The bath idea works…i have stretched to 7mm in the space of 2 months…it does hurt when you first start but once i got to 5mm..the other 2 sort of fell in…i got the bar first and it took me 3 days to get in..was sore as hell…but once it’s in..you get that sense of relief..ha ha…you stretch when you feel you are ok with it…i am impatient so i wanted to go big, fast…it was worth the little bit of pain..the best thing is the bar though..get the end in and just screw it through..!
Happy stretching
