Can Delay In Periods Indicate Pregnancy?

Hello, I am married and while in the process of changing birth controls my husband and I had sex with no back up protection. I am now 4 days late with where my regular period would have started. However my new birth control doesnt end for another 3 days. I have had occasional nausesness, have not been able to eat full meals and have lower stomach pain. My boobs are sore and when pooping it has been very sticky. My urine also has a terrible smell to it. Which of these are signs of pregnancy and which could simply be from the change in birth control. If there is a chance i am pregnant should i finish the last 3 days of birth control or will that cause harm to my baby and my body.
