This goes into a short but detailed explanation of why the Pill can never normalize a woman’s cycle, specifically going over the hormones involved.
It “regulates” periods in the sense that it usually causes periods to come regularly. This is helpful for girls who don’t enjoy spontaneously waking up in a pool of their own blood.
Did you even read the article?

There are ways to track your cycle so that you aren’t surprised when your period comes, even if it’s irregular.
Women deserve better than chemical sterilization. There are actual cases where hormonal birth control is the best available option, but it’s harmful to suggest being surprised by one’s period is bad enough to warrant medicating away a normal, healthy part of women’s bodies.

It’s criminal that this knowledge is not taught in medical school and is instead something they must train for outside of school, but it is what it is. Hopefully that will change once fertility awareness becomes more accepted. You can learn more at naturalwomanhood.org or factsaboutfertility.org!
