A pregnancy test measures the hormone "human chorionic gonadotropin" (hCG), which is a placental hormone that shows up only when you are pregnant, not one of the hormones in birth control, so even if you are on birth control, a test should still be accurate (unless it turns out to be a faulty test... but the ones the doctors use test for the same hormone, they're just more accurate).
