Probably has to do with the increase in glandular tissue, which compresses the blood vessels, leading to the shooting pain. During pregnancy the breasts are getting ready to produce milk, therefore increase is size, and activate the glands (this process is due to the hormone prolactin, released by the hypothalamus). It is nothing to worry about, and is quite common in pregnancy, and during the menstrual period.

Can you be pregnant if you don't have sore breasts?

I don't see why not, some women or most women may be more sensitive then yourself so that could cause them to have pain and not you. The pain is because your breasts are preparing for lactation, but if you think you may be pregnant take a pregnancy test or go to see a doctor because every woman's pregnancy is different and you may just not have that symptom.
