Yes it was Mary's egg. That terminology is used in the Bible because back then they had no word for fallopian tube, "womb" meant inside her body. Jesus is the second Adam because Adam was made without sin and Jesus was born without sin. Adam was the only man without sin till Jesus was born, so that made Him the second Adam.
The Holy Ghost would have a word differenciating the uterus with the fallopian tubes. While that was 2000 years ago people weren't turnips. They were aware of the female anatomy. It was His inspiration that brought the writer to use womb.
Just because of the posibility that God provided both the egg and the sperm does not negate the fact that Mary carried Him in her womb 9 months and gave birth to our Savior Jesus Christ.
It's been pointed out to me that Jesus had to be of the priestly lineage by both mother and father. Wasn't Joseph in that position only due to adoption?
Another thing to consider is how could Mary give birth to a son who was without the sin nature when she, herself was a sinner? This thinking led to the doctrine that she must have been born without the sin nature and lived her entire life sinless, something I think most Christians would refute.
If that was true what was the need for the cross?
I think it is well within the posibility that God placed a new creation, a human in the form of an embryo into Mary's womb, with, of course He Himself as well.
