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?
Pill bleeds aren’t periods.
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.
@im-not-an-object-ok Also, fertility awareness charting can help specially trained doctors to pinpoint and treat the underlying causes of irregular periods with the appropriate therapies, medications, or in more extreme cases, specialized surgery. 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!

Pope Paul VI predicted grave consequences that would arise from the widespread and unrestrained use of contraception. He warned, “Upright men can even better convince themselves of the solid grounds on which the teaching of the Church in this field is based if they care to reflect upon the consequences of methods of artificially limiting the increase of children. Let them consider, first of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up towards conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality. Not much experience is needed in order to know human weakness, and to understand that men—especially the young, who are so vulnerable on this point—have need of encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance. It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the employment of anti-conceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer as his respected and beloved companion” (HV 17).
No one can doubt the fulfillment of these prophetic words. They have all been more than fulfilled in this country as a result of the widespread availability of contraceptives, the “free love” movement that started in the 1960s, and the loose sexual morality that it spawned and that continues to pervade Western culture.
Indeed, recent studies reveal a far greater divorce rate in marriages in which contraception is regularly practiced than in those marriages where it is not. Experience, natural law, Scripture, Tradition, and the magisterium, all testify to the moral evil of contraception.

The Church has always maintained the historic Christian teaching that deliberate acts of contraception are always gravely sinful, which means that it is mortally sinful if done with full knowledge and deliberate consent (CCC 1857). This teaching cannot be changed and has been taught by the Church infallibly.
