BCP and sweating?

i know some BCPs because of the progestin are prone to cause oily skin. Is there any connection then between BCPs and sweating. It's kind of gross, but since i went on my last pill- (the one before the one i take now, but the progestin is exactly the same) I feel as if I sweat more than I used to. Could it be the BCP? Just curious. My face doesn't seem to be oilier than usual- Ive always had kind of oily skin
thanks

Some women on some pills will have night sweats like women approaching menopause because of the particular combination of hormones.
