I just want to say thank you for this question. I have been wondering it  for 
quite some time.  I did not even want to ask...thinking if this were  true, 
surely we would know? RIght? No?  There are young girls on bc for  acne.  My 
cousin started taking bc pills at 13---definitely not for  pregnancy prevention, 
she was on them for acne.  Another young girl, 15, on  bc pills for painful 
menstrual cramps.  So, we are talking young girls on  the pill in their early 
teens and likely on them for more than 10 years.   Since so many women today 
are delaying childbearing until well into their  30s, and that may mean being on 
hormonal birth control for more than 15  years.....is there a possible link?  
I can't imagine I should be seeing so  many women with so little milk.. I am 
always looking for a reason or at  least a theory of possibility.....
 
Anyway, just wanted to say I have been wondering this too and if there is  
any research, I would love to know about it.  And, if there is not...maybe  some 
great mind would take it on...
 
Best,
Pam MazzellaDiBosco, IBCLC, RLC
