Didn't your doctor explain to you how to use birth control pills when he/she prescribed them for you?
Depending on the type of pill, you need to start taking them on a certain day (generally the first day of your period or the Sunday after your period starts), and you need to take one pill each day at the same time each day. That's EVERY day, not just days you plan to have sex! And also depending on the type of pill and when you start taking it, you may need to use a backup method of borth control for the first week at least. There should be instructions explaining all this with the pills.
