Egg Sh/pell

I want to do something with a coincidence that happened to me today, and would love some advice.

I was walking out to my car and found a little robin's egg in the grass near my driveway. At first I wondered if it needed to be put back in a nest, but then I realized it was empty. It's a striking, bright blue, almost unblemished, except for two little holes where the hatchling must have come out.

I immediately thought of my upcoming appointment with a fertility clinic. I've never tried to get pregnant before, and I hope very much that it will happen quickly once I get some sperm in there, but I'm rather nervous about starting the process, finding the right sperm, and anything that might go wrong. This egg is feels like a fitting symbol for my pregnancy hopes, and I want to figure out a ritual to perform with it. I've seen spells that involve crushing eggshells, but I'm very taken with the near wholeness of this egg and its hollowness makes me think of my womb waiting to be filled. Maybe I should find something very small to put into it or create some kind of display.

I'm still quite new to witchcraft, so I would love to hear anyone else's ideas on how to work with this!
