9 pounds in 7 days on mini pill?!

As the title says, I've been on the mini pill for 7 days now.
The bloating is ridiculous, I never feel like I want to eat anything, I've been eating so much less than I usually would.
I'm quite a tiny person who can usually eat anything and never put on weight.
But I've somehow managed to put on 9 pounds in 7 days of taking this mini pill!
Is this normal? All the other threads I've looked at say how they've put on a stone or so within the first few months, but 9 pounds in 7 days just seems a bit crazy.
Should I just go back to my doctor's?

Eughh poor you that would make me stop it straight away but others would say to watch and see if it settles.

You could go back to your dr but a week isn’t very long at all. It might be irregular bleeding starting if you are really bloated. I wouldn’t come off of it until you have spoken I your dr just in case u have to start over again though

Thank you both for your replys :) I will wait a few more weeks and see if it settles down!
