to take birth control pills?

like do you have to take ur pills to match the dates on ur calendar? um..like so you get what I'm staying today's date is the 14 but with my pills I'd be taking the one that is in the 19th spot I'm so confused about this and as of rihgt now I do not have a doctor since mine is nolonger a doctor and I'm waiting to hear about where i can get one...so I cant ask my doctor about anything and it sucks...anyways if anyone could help that would be great.
