The pregnancy test is based only on particular sex hormones. Thus, thyroid hormones can not affect the results of the pregnancy test.
The blood might turn a little orange if bilirubin (a product of the metabolism of the hemoglobin) is increased in the bloodstream. You might want to have laboratory tests for bilirubin levels in the blood, as well as liver laboratory tests.
