Interesting - I haven't had a chance to unpack the study but here is the author's conclusion:

http://www.internationalbreastfeedingjournal.com/content/3/1/29

"The results suggest that OC use during the 12 months prior to conception may affect breastfeeding duration. These findings may be due to the endocrine disrupting effect of OC. Alternatively, both OC use and shorter duration of breastfeeding may represent lifestyle-related conditions."
