Many birth controls work by making the uterus inhospitable to the zygote, e.g. through preventing implantation.
If this happens unintentionally, it's called a "miscarriage." A miscarriage is also often called a ["spontaneous abortion."](https://www.health.harvard.edu/womens-health/miscarriage-a-to-z)
