Well your body only wants to recycle it if you've ovulated and the egg wasn't fertilized. On HBC you don't ovulate and there's no reason for the lining to shed. Basically, you only have a withdrawal bleed (it's not technically a period) on the pill because it's what happens when you aren't on the pill and manufacturers wanted women to feel comfortable...the unnatural part is in taking the hormones in the first place, not in taking them continuously to prevent bleeds. Plus it's more natural to have less bleeds in a lifetime because women who are pregnant/nursing don't have them so decreasing the number of lining sheddings is arguably more natural.
This is the most convincing argument I've ever heard. Also, I didn't know that about the pill. Thanks!
