Hey just wondering that once they have mated is it still possible for the male to mate again the very next day even after it was successful?
Also my hen seems a bit more fatter than usual I honestly dont think she has put on weight! Could this mean she is pregnant?

Yes, it is possible that they will mate again, even if they were successful.
As far as your budgie looking heavier than she normally does, it is often difficult to tell if a budgie is carrying an egg. How are her droppings? Are they large??

Well this morning I noticed her droppings are a normal size but I only just noticed recently that the cock was trying to mate with her so not sure if droppings are supposed to be small for the time being.
How big are the poops supposed to be - like how many normal poops would make up for the big one?

Your bird's mating activities are very normal. They will often mate several times a day.
I've noticed the hen's droppings will remain normal in size for several days after mating. When she starts visiting the nest box and/or laying eggs, they seem to "hold it in" for a longer period of time and, when they finally do come out to relieve themselves, the mass is larger than normal. Hard to estimate the difference in size but you will notice a difference.

Try 10 times. Maybe it is because my budgie won't poop until she is out of the cage. She can get rather frantic waiting to be let out. :)
