Contraceptive pill

Hi all.
So I had a baby 2 years ago and my hormones are still all over the place.
I am constantly having hot flushes. It could be from cleaning/tidying to walking into town. I am drenched in sweat. Ive had blood tests , they're all clear, ive had tablets they use to help with hyperhidrosis didnt help. I was also tested to see if i was pre menopausal (im only 29 but they wanted to rule it out). I have now been put on the contraceptive pill to try and sort my hormones out but they dont seem to be working. Ive been on them now about 6 weeks and doctors refusing to change or try something else yet.

Also im experiencing some side effects which include my boobs and underboob smelling a bit like milk and they are extremely sensitive. Now Im a very clean person so I know its not any infection or anything. It reminds me of the smell of breastmilk.

Has anyone else experienced this ? The sweating/ hot flushes or even the side effects. Or does anyone have any advice please

Thank you all
