Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My girlfriend has swollen breasts, but she has an IUD. One, is it possible she may be pregnant anyway even with an IUD? And two, what are other causes of swollen breasts? We have found ways to decrease the swelling, but then it swells back up the next day.

It is associated with absence of menses. &can be confirmed by blood or urine pregnancy test. - Another possibility is she must have cu T with inbuilt hormones ..here breast enlargement is due to hormone. -Hormonal imbalance can cause irregular periods with breast engorgement. your friend may have it.
