Does spironolactone taken with birth control cause the birth control not to work?

HealthNut0000
I am currently taking spironolactone with birth control for acne purposes. I know that it is not advisable to get pregnant while on spironolactone. However, I am curious if taking these two pills together causes the birth control to not work properly? Is it easier to get pregnant?
