The pill is the ultimate in routine. It is most effective when taken every day at the same time, and you should be taking the pill for a full month before you engage in no-condom sex.
Taking the pill randomly will not help prevent pregnancy, although it may manage to mess up your period and hormones a bit. You may be getting confused with emergency contraception, called the morning after pill.
This is a pill that needs to be taken within three days of having unprotected sex - though it's most effective if taken within 24 hours. Basically, it's a super heavy dose of hormones that can help prevent pregnancy.
If you're having sex, you should be seeing a gyno at least once yearly. Make an appointment (most doctors are bound by confidentiality - check your doctor's stance on your age, etc) and use it to discuss the best form of birth control for you. There are some types that you don't need to think about on a daily basis, such as the shot.
Best of luck.

Your question is a little confusing so it probably won't get to many answers. If I don't understand what your asking, you might want to add something a little more specific to your question. :)
First of all you have to be taking the pill for at least 30 days in a row before having unprotected sex. It has to have a little time to get in your system before you have unprotected sex.
If you don't take it every day then chances are good you will get pregnant.
If you have been taking it everyday for, lets say 3 months and you forget one....take it as soon as you remember it. You will probably be okay as long as you don't forget it all the time.
I would like to mention that you can take your pills anytime during the day. If you usually take it in the morning but forgot until afternoon. You are fine. Take it in the afternoon.
Some people think if they don't take it the same time everyday then it isn't going to work. The doctor will tell you to take same time every day simply so you will remember to take it. It is not a have to thing.
If you are only taking the pill after you have sex, you will wind up pregnant. It must be taken daily.
