I've known many women who have gotten PP periods while nursing and a couple that got pregnant while nursing. I'm not sure of the statistics, but it doesn't always work.

I wouldn't trust it, as I know plenty of women who've gotten pregnant while nursing, but here's the link to the answer on Kellymom. https://kellymom.com/bf/normal/fertility/

EBF is not effective BC. You don't have to be getting your period to be fertile. And I know a few ladies with EBF/minipill babies.
