Q: Breasts enlarged

Okay... now I thought I was imagining it, but nope... they are larger and my husband even says they are. Only thing I have done different in the last month is go on a gluten restricted diet which I decided to do... coincidental??? I usually have sore swollen breasts about a week before my period then when my period comes, they're back to normal. This time, they were sore for maybe 1 day, and then my period came and my breasts stayed sore and swollen right through my period and for 2 weeks AFTER. Now they are not sore, but still enlarged???? Totally confused here. Question

You may have gain some weight recently, so, you find your breasts larger.
Although, you had menstrual bleeding, still, test for pregnancy.
If you have changed your diet, you may added some foods that are source of phytoestrogen (flex seeds, tofu, soy yogurt, soy beans), estrogen found in plants, that usually gives breast enlargement as a effect.
This breast enlargement can be, also, a side effect of using birth control pills.

Haven't really changed my diet, just restricted my gluten intake..hmmm. I guess I could take a pregnancy test. I thought I might wait to see if my period comes this month. I know it's not birth control pills because I'm not on any.
